[ES_JOBS_NET] Tenure-Track Assitant Professor in Structural Geology/Tectonics Univ. of Oklahoma, Norman, OK

[Dulin, Shannon A.]

The School of Geosciences at the University of Oklahoma (OU) invites applications for a

tenure-track position in Structural Geology / Tectonics at the rank of Assistant Professor.

The position will contribute to and expand upon existing interdisciplinary strengths in the

department via the study of the 3D architecture and evolution of Earth's surface/crust,

associated deformation and deformation processes, and potential use-inspired research.

The candidate must hold a Ph.D. in a related field at the time of appointment and exhibit

strong research potential. The candidate is expected to establish an innovative,

independent, and externally funded research program, build collaborations within and

outside the School, and work with colleagues and students toward OU’s Diversity, Equity,

and Inclusion goals. The candidate must have a demonstrated interest in teaching both

undergraduate and graduate courses and mentoring graduate students. Example

courses include, but are not limited to, Tectonic Geomorphology, Faulted & Fractured

Reservoirs and Subsurface Fluid Storage, Advanced Structural Geology, Geodynamics,

and Tectonics & Climate. Salary and start-up funds will be commensurate with

experience.


We are looking for a broad-minded colleague whose skills and interests will complement

and build upon existing areas of research within the department. The research area is

open but can include topics such as field-based studies, landscape evolution and tectonic

geomorphology, geologic hazards, the structure and long-term stability of subsurface

reservoirs, and tectonics and the carbon cycle. 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 energy geosciences, paleoclimate and environmental geology,

geochemistry, seismicity and earth structure, among others. Current departmental

emphases include induced seismicity, fluid-ˇmineral-ˇorganic matter interactions, and

subsurface reservoir characterization and monitoring. The position supports college

initiatives and research priorities in energy geosciences, seismicity, and water. The

position also integrates into university-wide major research initiatives in energy,

environmental sustainability, and computer/data science.
