Tectonorockphysics Lab (STRPL)</span></a>, led by Dr. Vashan Wright at Scripps
Institution of Oceanography University of California San Diego, invites
applications for a full-time postdoctoral researcher position. We seek
candidates from all areas of geophysics. We are particularly interested in
candidates who wish to conduct research on (1) granular/soft-matter/statistical
physics applied to Earth or Planetary science problems, (2) the role of fault
zone grains, fractures, and plasticity during the earthquake cycle, (3) the use
of three-dimensional printing to understand Earth or Planetary science
processes, (4) global or regional tectonics, and (5) earthquake,
controlled-source, or structural seismology. We are also interested in research
that contributes to a better understanding of the impacts of geological processes
on humans, especially those living in predominantly Black, Brown, Indigenous,
and impoverished communities and nations. Candidates whose research falls into
one or more of the broad areas mentioned above are especially encouraged to
apply. Preference will be given to candidates wishing to conduct broadly
applicable fundamental research. All candidates who meet the qualifications,
regardless of their field in geophysics, will be considered.</span></p>

BAJEDI includes a commitment to addressing the family needs of postdoctoral
researchers, including single parents. We welcome candidates who have had
non-traditional career paths, have taken time off for family reasons (e.g.,
caring for children, the disabled, or the elderly), or are interested in
careers both in and outside academia. We welcome candidates interested in being
involved in improving BAJEDI in Geoscience (for example, URGE).</span></p>
