Position description
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of
California San Diego invites applications for a full-time
Researcher position to be funded by extramural research grants and
contracts in the area of Geodesy. We seek outstanding candidates
with expertise in areas including marine and/or terrestrial
geodesy, satellite geodesy, seafloor positioning, reference frames,
processing and analysis of geodetic positions (e.g., GNSS, InSAR),
modeling geophysical processes, time series analysis and data
science (e.g., machine learning). The successful candidate will be
distinguished by a deep understanding of geodetic methods and
applications.
The Researcher series at Scripps Oceanography parallels the
Professor series in terms of research and service, but it carries
no teaching requirements. Researchers receive eleven-month
appointments with 25% salary support from institutional sources but
are expected to establish an externally funded research program
that provides the remainder of their salary support. Researchers at
Scripps often obtain educator appointments as well and serve as
graduate student and postdoc advisors.
We seek motivated research geodesists to take advantage of new
funding opportunities to expand the pool of geodesists in the U.S.
through innovative research and mentoring students and postdocs and
supporting a new geodesy track within the existing geophysical
curriculum. The candidate's research program will complement and
possibly overlap other research efforts at the Institute of
Geophysics and Planetary Physics such as the Seafloor Geodesy
Equipment Pool, the Scripps Orbit and Permanent Array Center
(SOPAC), and the Satellite Geodesy group. Initial funding may be
available from grants already awarded to these groups.
We are interested in candidates who have demonstrated excellence in
research and service, and who are committed toward building an
equitable and diverse scholarly environment. A competitive record
of publication, as well as evidence of the ability to conduct and
fund an active research program consistent with the appointment
level, is required. Candidates will be considered at the Assistant,
Associate, or Full Researcher levels. The ranks of Associate and
Full level are expected to have a record of securing extramural
funding. Rank and salary will be consistent with the applicant's
qualifications, experience, and University of California pay
scales.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography is a world-renowned center of
solid Earth, planetary, oceanographic, biological, and atmospheric
research committed to academic excellence and diversity within its
student body, staff, and approximately 200 principal investigators
(https://scripps.ucsd.edu/diversity).
School: http://scripps.ucsd.edu
Qualifications
Basic qualifications (required at time of application)
Candidates are required to hold a Ph.D. in an area of Earth and
Ocean Science, Physics, Engineering, or other related field,
preferably with a record of geodetic-related research
experience.
Must have a record of publication commensurate with the level of
appointment.
Must have evidence of the ability to conduct and fund an active
research program consistent with the appointment level.
Preferred qualifications
Candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in
research and service, and who are committed to building an
equitable and diverse university environment.
Candidates will be considered at the Assistant, Associate, or Full
Researcher levels. A record of publication and service commensurate
with the level of appointment is required. Candidates at the
Associate and Full level are expected to have a record of securing
extramural funding.
