From gurnis at gps.caltech.edu Fri Jan 26 07:35:43 2018 From: gurnis at gps.caltech.edu (Mike Gurnis) Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 07:35:43 -0800 Subject: [Cig-jobpostings] Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Geophysics at the California Institute of Technology Message-ID: <69236f10-0039-55b0-7613-e28e92438c5e@gps.caltech.edu> The Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at the California Institute of Technology is seeking outstanding applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in geophysics at the assistant professor level. We invite applicants in any area of geophysics, broadly defined. Preference is for individuals who will lead an innovative research program and are committed to teaching, with the applicant’s overall creativity and potential being valued more than their specific area of expertise within geophysics. The term of the initial appointment at the assistant professor level is normally four years, with appointment contingent upon completion of a PhD in a relevant field. Exceptionally well-qualified candidates may also be considered at the tenured professor level. Initial review of applications will begin on March 1, 2018, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Interested applicants should submit an electronic application that includes a brief cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching plans, up to three representative publications, and contact information for at least three individuals who may be contacted for letters of reference.

With approx. 1280 employees, the GFZ is conducting interdisciplinary research on the “System Earth” and the influence of humans on the planet. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, it is part of Germany’s largest science organization. For Section 2.5 “Geodynamical Modelling” / Department 2 “Geophysics” we invite applications for a PhD position (Geodynamics) Job Vacancy No. 0474 Project title: Geodynamics of Continental Rifted Margin Formation – Numerical Modelling of Rift Processes from Localisation to Break-up The aim of this project is to understand the impact of geodynamic processes on continental rifted margin formation. The successful candidate will use state of the art numerical modelling software in order to investigate tectonic, magmatic, and sedimentary processes during rift evolution. Modelling results will be compared to data and observations from the North and South Atlantic margins as well as from the East African Rift System. The project is embedded in the Helmholtz Young Investigators Group CRYSTALS “Continental Rift Dynamics Across The Scales: Understanding Observations Through Numerical Modelling”. Your responsibilities: · Conduct computational rift models and compare the results to available data · Improve the geodynamic modelling software by combining existing routines · Benchmark 2D rift models with well-studied areas of the Atlantic margins and the East African Rift · Investigate 3D rift dynamics under consideration of rift segmentation and multi-phase extension · Present results at international conferences and in scientific publications Your qualifications: · Master’s degree (or equivalent) in geophysics, geology, physics or a related discipline in Geosciences · Research interest in continental rifting and numerical modelling · Basic experience in scientific programming (e.g. C, Fortran, Python, Matlab, etc) · Ability to work independently, as well as within a multidisciplinary team · Very good command of the English language in spoken and written form Starting date: 1st April 2018 or by arrangement Fixed term: 3 years Location: Potsdam, Germany Additional information: You can expect a very diverse and challenging job in an international work environment that is characterized by exciting research projects.
