The Department of Earth Sciences, University of Southern California (USC),
invites applications for a tenure track Assistant Professorship in
lithospheric geoscience, to complement existing strengths in
thermochronology, surface processes, and earthquake science. We seek an
outstanding emerging scholar poised to tackle the complexity of
lithospheric deformation processes from new perspectives, including a
combination of field observations with recently developed analytical
techniques and integration across traditional sub-disciplines. The
successful candidate will be expected to sustain and further develop the
undergraduate and graduate curricula in solid-Earth geoscience in areas
potentially including, but not limited to, field methods, structural
geology, petrology, rock mechanics, and/or geochronology.

Located in central Los Angeles, USC serves a transnational student body and
provides numerous opportunities to engage the local community in research,
teaching, and service. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are core
values at USC and in our department. Candidates from historically
under-represented groups are encouraged to apply. All candidates should
demonstrate a commitment to advancing DEI ideals in their research,
teaching, and/or service.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) and the demonstrated ability
to conduct compelling independent research and to attract external research
funding. The review of applications will begin on November 15, 2021.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, the contact
information for 3-5 references, and research, teaching, and DEI statements,
each not exceeding 3 pages. Information on USC’s commitment to DEI in the
STEM fields can be found at https://diversity.usc.edu/. In order to be
considered for this position, all candidates must apply via the "Apply"
link at the top or bottom of this page. For more information, please
contact Prof Sylvain Barbot (sbarbot at usc.edu), chair of the search
committee.
