[Lorraine Hwang]

The Department of Earth Sciences of the Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and
Sciences of the University of Southern California (Los Angeles, California) invites applications
for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in earthquake science at the junior level. We seek
exceptional individuals who can develop a world-class program of research, and have a strong
commitment to both graduate and undergraduate teaching. Candidates specializing in any aspect
of earthquake science, including seismology, tectonic geodesy, earthquake geology, and
computational geophysics, will be considered. The successful candidate will bring new
approaches—observational, experimental, computational, and/or theoretical—to earthquake
studies. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research links earthquake science to
the fundamental issues of lithospheric deformation and geodynamics and to other areas of
departmental interest (http://dornsife.usc.edu/earth/). The candidates will be evaluated based on
their overall originality and promise of work over any specific area of specialization.
Applicants must have a doctoral degree by time of appointment. 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. Review of complete applications will begin November 1, 2016. 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/74983 .
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
