The Scripps Tectonorockphysics Lab (STRPL) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher from any area of geophysics. This full-time, fixed-term position of up to two years will be located in La Jolla, California.
The STRPL is 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. The STRPL is 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. Candidates must possess a PhD in Earth/planetary science, physics, material science, engineering, or a related field by the time of appointment.
Applications must include:
- A dissertation abstract (one page) that describes PhD research objectives and main findings, a brief description of past challenges/roadblocks to conducting/publishing research may be included if desired;
- A statement of research interests (one to two pages, 12 point) that outlines plans for the postdoctoral period; and
- A curriculum vita, including any personal information and a list of publications (one to three pages, 12 point).
The research interest statement should briefly outline how the applicant envisions collaborating Dr. Wright, lead of the STRPL, and one other Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) researcher. Applicants should include this IGPP researcher’s name on the application form. Information on recent IGPP research is available at on their webpage.
Applicants will need to provide contact information for two writers of support letters and are responsible for ensuring that these writers provide support letters, submitted directly by emailing to greenfound [at] ucsd.edu, by 7 December 2022.
