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 (http://dornsife.usc.edu/earth/). Applicants must have a PhD in 
a related field.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, publication list, 
statement of teaching and research interests, and three or more names of 
individuals familiar with the applicant's work who could be contacted
