Geophysics Professor


University of Oklahoma Norman Campus: Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy:
School of Geosciences


 

The School of Geosciences at the University of Oklahoma (OU) invites
applications for a tenure-track or tenured position in Computational
Geophysics at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The candidate
must hold a Ph.D. in a related field, have a strong research record, and an
interest in teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses and mentoring
graduate students. Example courses include, but are not limited to Seismic
Processing and Modeling, Geophysical Signal Analysis, and Computational
Geophysics. The candidate is expected to establish an externally funded
research program, build collaborations within and outside the School, and
work with colleagues and students toward OU's Diversity and Inclusion goals.
Salary and start-up funds will be commensurate with experience. 

We are looking for a broad-minded geophysicist with strong computational
skills and interests that complement existing strengths within the
department. The School of Geosciences, part of the Mewbourne College of
Earth and Energy, has a large, vibrant faculty with a broad range of
research activities in the areas of petroleum geoscience, paleoclimate and
environment, earthquakes and earth structure, and others. Current projects
include the topics of induced seismicity, groundwater flow, processes and
structures in basement, and reservoir characterization and monitoring. The
field of Computational Geophysics is undergoing a rapid transformation owing
to an ever-increasing amount of quantitative data. Processing and
interpretation of these data are reliant upon new methods in high
performance computing, artificial intelligence, and data mining, all which
are critical to emerging research in the wider field of geosciences. This
position also supports college initiatives and research priorities in
geomechanics, seismicity, reservoir monitoring, geodynamics, water, and
petrophysics. The position integrates into university-wide major research
initiatives in energy and computer/data science. 

Our research facilities are detailed at
<http://www.ou.edu/mcee/geosciences/Research>
http://www.ou.edu/mcee/geosciences/Research and include computer labs with
PC and Linux platforms and access to a dedicated cluster within the OU
supercomputer center. The School maintains a comprehensive pool of
geophysical equipment including wired and wireless seismic acquisition
systems, active seismic sources, GPR, ERT, gravimetry, and high-precision
GPS, as well as extensive rock physics characterization laboratories.  

The University of Oklahoma is a Carnegie-R1 comprehensive public research
university known for excellence in teaching, research, and community
engagement. Norman is a culturally rich and vibrant town located just
outside Oklahoma City. With outstanding schools, amenities, and a low cost
of living, Norman is a perennial contender on the "Best Places to Live"
