<br>The Geophysical Institute (GI) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is
hiring a new seismology faculty member at the rank of Research Assistant
Professor or Research Associate Professor. We seek a scientist
interested in building a long-term research program that leverages the
extensive facilities and personnel of the Seismology Lab and GI. We
value an ability to work collaboratively with other faculty and a
motivation to help lead our graduate student program. To foster these
connections, the new hire will work with the Alaska Earthquake Center
and/or the Alaska Volcano Observatory. These affiliations, together with
core university funding, are expected to provide approximately eight
months of support annually for this twelve-month position. After an
initial startup period, the new hire will be expected to raise
additional support through external grants and contracts of their own.<br>
<br>
We invite candidates from a wide range of seismology backgrounds.
Candidates should have broad research interests with applications in
regional tectonic settings and/or volcanoes. Applicants are encouraged
to address this in their statement of research. Candidates will be
evaluated, in part, on their ability to capitalize on the diverse assets
of the Geophysical Institute and on the scientific opportunities
afforded by the active tectonic environment of Alaska.<br>
<br>
The new hire will join a dynamic group of two dozen faculty, postdocs,
staff and students dedicated to advancing the field of seismology. Our
research emphasizes earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, glaciers and
tectonics in Alaska and around the world. We track earthquake and
volcanic activity across Alaska in partnerships with federal and state
agencies. The Seismology Lab houses the Alaska Earthquake Center and is a
core component of the Alaska Volcano Observatory. The tremendous rates
of tectonic and volcanic activity make Alaska an unparalleled laboratory
for seismology. We apply this real-world experience to research
projects with global implications. Current emphasis on Alaska from the
EarthScope and GeoPRISMS programs make this a particularly exciting
time. Abundant seismoacoustic research opportunities also exist through
collaboration with the GI-based Wilson Infrasound Observatories.<br>
<br>
The University of Alaska Fairbanks values diversity among its students,
staff, and faculty. We encourage applications from women, members of
minority groups, and others who would bring additional dimensions to the
university's research, teaching and service missions.<br>
