The School of the Earth, Ocean and Environment (SEOE) at the University of
South Carolina invites applications for a tenure-track, Assistant Professor

We seek an individual who uses innovative and interdisciplinary approaches

interior to surface layers. Applicant’s research interests may address
geophysical aspects of environmental and near-surface issues, engineering
and petrophysical applications, geohazard prediction and mitigation, as
well as deep Earth and tectonic processes. The successful candidate will
complement, strengthen, and diversify the School’s research program in
Earth and environmental sciences, and will direct an active,
externally-funded research program. Teaching responsibilities will include
an undergraduate non-majors course, an upper-level undergraduate course for
SEOE majors and a graduate-level course related to the candidate’s
specialty.



The position requires a Ph.D. in geophysics or a related field by the time
of the appointment. Applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vita,
research statement, teaching statement, and the contact information for
three references via the USCJobs site at:
