<div class="">The Department of Earth Sciences in the Dana and
David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences of the
University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California,
invites applications for a faculty position in global geophysics
at the tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured Associate
Professor level. We seek candidates who will develop a program
of fundamental research on the structure, deformation, and/or
evolution of the lithosphere and its interactions with the
Earth’s deep mantle and fluid envelopes. The successful
candidate will bring new approaches—observational, experimental,
computational, and/or theoretical—to lithospheric studies
and will demonstrate a strong commitment to both graduate and
undergraduate teaching. We are particularly interested
in candidates who can connect research on lithospheric problems
to other areas of departmental interest, which
include global environmental change, geobiology, and earthquake
system science (<a href="http://dornsife.usc.edu/earth/"
class="">http://dornsife.usc.edu/earth/</a>). Applicants must
have a PhD in a related field.</div>
