Applications Open for SDSU/UCSD Joint PhD Program in Geophysics — Fall 2026 Assistantships Available
|
San Diego State University and University of California San Diego are accepting applications for the Joint Doctoral Program in Geophysics. The SDSU/UCSD Joint Program (https://earth.sdsu.edu/jdp/opportunity/) provides full access to the Geophysics curriculum of UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, with additional specialized courses and research opportunities offered by SDSU faculty. Assistantships for Fall 2026 are available for research in fields including earthquake physics, wave propagation and strong motion, fault zone structure and dynamics, induced seismicity, computational seismology, and subsurface imaging. A virtual open house of the program can be found at https://earth.sdsu.edu/ph-d-in-geophysics-virtual-open-house-2025/. A competitive financial support package is offered to successful applicants, who must meet doctoral admissions requirements of both universities. Apply by December 1, 2025. For application procedure and further information, see https://earth.sdsu.edu/jdp/opportunity/, or send inquiries to Professor Kim Olsen (kbolsen@sdsu.edu).
