Faculty Positions
Faculty Position in Geophysics at Stanford University
We invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Geophysics (https://earth.stanford.edu/geophysics) in any broadly defined field of observational, experimental, computational or theoretical geophysics. Current departmental interests include, but are not limited to, energy, water, geodynamics and natural hazards, as well as new and emerging areas. The appointment will likely be at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor). The successful candidate will have demonstrated skills in one or more of the following: quantitative observations and data analysis, data processing, computational modeling or geophysical imaging, at any scale. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work over any specific area of specialization.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop a world-class independent program of research, and have a strong commitment to both graduate and undergraduate teaching. A doctorate is required at the time of appointment.
How to Apply
Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vita, a statement of research and teaching interests, three recent publications, and the names and email addresses of three individuals from whom the search committee can request letters of reference. Please apply online at: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6078. Review of applications will commence December 1, 2015. The position will remain open until filled.

If you are interested in postdoctoral research, you should contact a faculty member in your field of study. Opportunities for postdoctoral research in the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences are occasionally advertised here, but most are handled directly by individual faculty members.
Thompson Postdoctoral Fellowship in Geophysics
The Department of Geophysics at Stanford University has established the Thompson Postdoctoral Fellowship to be awarded to a candidate preferably within two years of receipt of the Ph.D. The fellowship is open to applicants in any area of geophysics, including new areas of research that cross existing disciplinary boundaries, so that students and recent graduates in Earth science, physics, chemistry, biology, or computational sciences with interests in the geophysical sciences are also encouraged to apply. Current departmental interests include, but are not limited to, energy, water, geodynamics, and natural hazards. The successful candidate will have her/his own independent research agenda, but have common interests with one or more existing faculty (who will serve as a formal mentor) to participate in their research group activities. We encourage prospective applicants to communicate in advance with prospective faculty mentors.
This honorific postdoctoral fellowship will be awarded for a one-year period that can start any time between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017, with an anticipated extension for a second year. The compensation package includes salary of $58,000-64,000/year (depending on experience), benefits, and a $15,000 one-time research allowance. Applications received by December 21, 2015, will receive fullest consideration.
