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!

SDSU/UCSD Joint Program now accepting applications

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 (http://sci.sdsu.edu/geology/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 2023 are available for research in earthquake physics, wave propagation and strong motion, fault zone structure and dynamics, induced seismicity, subsurface imaging, and computational seismology. A competitive financial support package is offered to successful applicants, who must meet doctoral admissions requirements of both universities. Apply by December 15, 2022. For application procedure and further information, see sci.sdsu.edu/geology/jdp/, or send inquiries to Professor Kim Olsen (kbolsen@sdsu.edu).

Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track) Faculty Position in Geology at UCLA
 
The UCLA Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences (EPSS) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor rank. We encourage applicants from all sub-disciplines of geology, geophysics, and planetary sciences to apply. Applications from individuals with expertise in tectonics/structural geology, rock/ice mechanics and rheology, glaciology, early Earth history, or other areas that complement the existing strengths at UCLA will be especially welcome. We encourage applications from those with experience in field- based research/teaching, and community/collegial service that has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to excellence and equity, diversity, and inclusion. Candidates are expected to hold a Ph.D. in geology or a related field by the date of hire.

EPSS faculty conduct research in geology, geobiology, geochemistry, planetary science, geophysics, paleobiology, and space physics. The Department has a strong tradition of integrative research that transcends traditional discipline boundaries. The ability of applicants to contribute to this multidisciplinary ethos, including research primarily focused on Earth, will be a consideration in evaluation, in addition to their commitment to enhancing the diversity of EPSS faculty and students.

To apply, candidates must submit (a) a cover letter, (b) CV, (c) statement of research, (d) statement of teaching, (e) statement of contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion, (f) writing samples, (g) the names of three to five individuals who are familiar with your work and can serve as references, and (h) the reference check authorization release form.

Applications will be accepted via the UC Recruit website at https://recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF07865 beginning September 30, 2022, and reviews of submitted applications will commence on October 31, 2022 and continue until the position is filled.

Salary is commensurate with education and experience. The target start date is July 1, 2023.
