[Lorraine Hwang]

The Department of Earth Sciences in the Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and
Sciences of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, invites applications
for a faculty position in global geophysics at the tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured
Associate Professor level. We seek candidates who will develop a program of fundamental
research on the structure, deformation, and/or evolution of the lithosphere and its interactions
with the Earth’s deep mantle and fluid envelopes. The successful candidate will bring new
approaches—observational, experimental, computational, and/or theoretical—to lithospheric
studies and will demonstrate a strong commitment to both graduate and undergraduate teaching.
We are particularly interested in candidates who can connect research on lithospheric problems to
other areas of departmental interest, which include global environmental change, geobiology, and
earthquake system science (http://dornsife.usc.edu/earth/). Applicants must have a PhD in a
related field.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, publication list, statement of teaching and
research interests, and three or more names of individuals familiar with the applicant's work who
could be contacted for letters of reference. In order to be considered for this position, applicants
are required to submit an electronic USC application through the following link:
http://jobs.usc.edu/postings/67388 . Inquiries can be directed to: Chair, Search Committee, c/o
Karen Young (kayoung at usc.edu). Review of complete applications will begin November 1,
2016.
USC is an equal-opportunity educator and employer, proudly pluralistic and firmly committed to
providing equal opportunity for outstanding persons of every race, gender, creed and background.
The University particularly encourages women, members of underrepresented groups, veterans
and individuals with disabilities to apply. USC will make reasonable accommodations for
qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in an undue hardship.
