1. Assistant or Associate Professor in Geology - Subduction Zone Initiative
The University of Washington (UW) seeks a geologist with a compelling vision for subduction zone research and the collaborative leadership skills to contribute to a new subduction zone initiative at UW. This faculty position is in the Department of Earth & Space Sciences (ESS) of the College of the Environment, and is expected to be at the rank of Assistant Professor (tenure track) or Associate Professor (with tenure). This position is a full-time position with an indefinite term and 9-month service period.
The new faculty member will be a geologist who studies the evolution of subduction systems through the interpretation of the rock record. Candidates should use geological field observations to establish context for interpreting the rock record, and combine these approaches with other analytical, theoretical, or experimental techniques. We particularly encourage applicants who examine high-temperature processes, and who complement existing strengths in ESS. We seek a colleague whose research will connect with other scientists in ESS and across the College. Candidates hired at the Assistant Professor level should demonstrate strong potential for collaborative, cross-disciplinary leadership contributing to a subduction zone initiative; candidates hired at the Associate Professor level should have a record of leadership.
