The Roy M. Huffington Department of Earth Sciences at Southern Methodist University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor faculty position with an expected start date of August 1, 2025.  We seek candidates in all areas of Earth Sciences with emphasis on, but not limited to, economic geology, structural geology, geomechanics, petrology, geomorphology, environmental science and paleoclimatology. While candidates from all sub-disciplines of earth and environmental sciences are encouraged to apply, particular attention will be given to those whose work involves quantitative measurement-based approaches. We welcome women, underrepresented scholars, veterans, and persons with disabilities to apply. Candidates will be expected to develop an outstanding research program and effectively advise an international, multicultural, and diverse student body of graduate and undergraduate students.
The department engages in fundamental and applied research that focuses on Earth system interactions with current specialties in atmospheric acoustics, radar and optical remote sensing, seismology, tectonics, environmental studies, climate/solid Earth coupling, natural and anthropogenic hazard and risk, water cycle and aqueous systems, life and its history, environmental microbiology, biogeochemical cycling, and astrobiology. All faculty in Earth Sciences are expected to fully participate in the educational mission of the department; this includes teaching courses at the undergraduate and graduate level and mentoring postdoctoral researchers. Faculty also participate in unique interdisciplinary research communities, including research clusters in Earth Hazards and National Security, Energy and Environmental Systems, and Data Science. This position is part of the interdisciplinary research cluster in Earth Hazards and National Security and part of SMU’s commitment to developing larger-scale collaborative research projects responding to some of humankind’s most daunting challenges.
