Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

#23147, solid earth geophysics 
 The University of Oklahoma invites applications for a tenure-track position in Geophysics in the broad areas of geodynamics, geodesy, numerical modeling and/or seismology at the rank of Assistant Professor. We seek a dynamic colleague who will teach and supervise students at all levels, while conducting an independent, externally funded research program in his/her field of expertise. 
  
 The candidate should hold a Ph.D., have a demonstrated research record, and an interest in teaching undergraduates and mentoring graduate students.
 The ConocoPhillips School of Geology and Geophysics has a large, vibrant faculty with a broad range of research activities and strong ties to the petroleum industry. The Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy possesses extensive software and computing labs with PC and Linux platforms networked to our own dedicated cluster within the OU supercomputer center (OSCER). The college hosts numerous industrial consortia,a research institute focused on seismic monitoring, and a field campus in Colorado for field courses in geology and geophysics. The geophysics group conducts active research projects that are funded by industry as well as by U.S. and foreign government agencies and institutes. The college maintains a comprehensive pool of geophysical equipment including GPR, seismic (active and passive), magnetic, and gravity instruments as well as extensive rock physics characterization laboratories. Through collaboration with industry, we have a suite of 3D seismic and microseismic data volumes that are used for teaching, algorithm calibration, seismic geomorphological analysis, crustal imaging, and a range of open source software for lithospheric-scale research.

Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University

 

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in rock mechanics.  The project, a collaboration with University of California, Davis, focuses on fundamental physics and chemistry of reaction-driven cracking, in which volume changes due to fluid-rock reaction create stresses leading to fracture formation. Triaxial experiments will be conducted on peridotite samples from the Oman Drilling Project, as well as analog materials, to map the confining pressure, differential stress and temperature ranges in which reaction-driven cracking occurs. The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will be expected to conduct experiments and work with modelers in interpreting results.  

 

Requirements:

A Ph.D. in rock mechanics, experimental petrology or a related discipline is required.

 

Appointment will be for 1-year, with continuation pending funding and progress.

 

Search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears and will continuePriority will be given to applications received by September 21, 2015.
