The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Houston invites applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in geophysics at the level of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor (untenured). The department is seeking outstanding candidates with the potential for exceptional research, excellence in teaching, and a clear commitment to enhancing the diversity of the faculty, graduate, and undergraduate student population. We seek candidates of outstanding ability in potential fields (gravity, magnetics, electricity, and electromagnetism), including data acquisition, processing, and interpretation, with research interests in near-surface, exploration, environmental, and solid-earth geophysics. Outstanding candidates will be considered from other fields of geophysics that build on department strengths, which include seismology, remote sensing, geodynamics, rock physics, and tectonics. The successful candidate will participate with an enthusiastic team of geoscience faculty and students, in a department with a broad range of geophysical capabilities located in a vibrant city and one of the leading energy capitals of the world.
