About the Role
We invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in the Department of Geophysics in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. We welcome applications from any field of geophysics, broadly defined.
The Department of Geophysics is one of seven departments within the Doerr School of Sustainability. Geophysicists study Earth and planetary processes through laboratory experiments, computational and theoretical modeling, remote imaging, and direct observation. The Department of Geophysics is unified through a common interest in physical processes and properties and the collection and use of geophysical data. Our interests span Earth’s interior, near-surface, oceans, and atmosphere, as well as planetary science.
