1) Postdoctoral Scholar positions in geophysics – Northern Arizona University
We are seeking two postdoctoral scholars to join the geophysics group in the School of Earth and Sustainability at Northern Arizona University. Geophysics faculty, staff, and graduate students collect, analyze and interpret novel geophysical datasets on land and at sea around the world to address fundamental problems in Earth Science. The School of Earth and Sustainability includes a dynamic and diverse faculty that work across a spectrum of earth and environmental sciences. One of the postdocs will primarily focus on a new active-source seismic study of the Aleutian Island arc, including data acquisition, analysis and interpretation; there will also be opportunities to engage in other ongoing projects focused on subduction zones and rift systems. The second postdoc will be engaged in development and application of innovative seismic imaging techniques utilizing new broadband datasets to probe crust and mantle dynamics; current projects focus on western North America, the central Pacific, and processes controlling subduction-zone dynamics. The ideal candidates will have PhDs in geophysics or a related field, experience in relevant seismic data analyses, and a strong record of peer-reviewed publication. Both postdocs will be a part of an active group of faculty and students in geophysics and will also be involved in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. Applicants from underrepresented groups in earth sciences are particularly encouraged to apply. Please contact Donna Shillington (Donna.Shillington@nau.edu) or James Gaherty (James.Gaherty@nau.edu) for more information.

2) Tenure Track Scientist – Geology & Geophysics – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The Geology & Geophysics Department at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) invites exceptional candidates to apply to one or more of our full-time exempt tenure track positions on our scientific staff. We seek to hire at the Assistant Scientist level; however, extraordinary candidates may be considered at Associate Scientist without Tenure, Associate Scientist with Tenure, or Senior Scientist levels.
The successful candidate would ideally have expertise in Seismology or Geodesy, and a demonstrated interest in the use and/or development of marine instrumentation and novel techniques for analyzing seafloor data. WHOI currently houses the Ocean Bottom Seismometer Instrument Center (OBSIC) (https://obsic.whoi.edu/) which provides seafloor instrumentation for the US seismic community. Individuals who are able to develop synergies and collaborations with OBSIC would be desirable.
Exceptional candidates from other geophysical fields, whose expertise complements and strengthens that of the current department may be considered and are encouraged to apply. Existing departmental strengths and interests include geophysics (active and passive seismology, electromagnetic methods, and magnetics), tectonics, ice-sheet dynamics, volcanology and fluid dynamics, geochemistry, coastal processes, past and present climate dynamics and biogeochemistry.
WHOI is the largest private, non-profit oceanographic institution in the world, with staff, postdocs, and graduate students numbering approximately 1,000. Its mission is to advance our understanding of the ocean and its interaction with the Earth system, and to communicate this understanding for the benefit of society. The Institution is located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, a world-renowned center of excellence in marine, biomedical, and environmental science. An additional 500 affiliates are associated with the scientific endeavors of the Institution, many of whom are foreign nationals from the international community.
WHOI is committed to supporting a diverse and inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
