The Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington invites applications for a full-time Research Assistant Professor in Seismo-geodesy. The successful candidate will be expected to engage in research on the use of geodesy to address transient and hazardous geophysical processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. Research will include a combination of both self-directed inquiry and work supporting the mission of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN).  We are particularly interested in candidates whose research involves high-rate and real-time geodetic measurements to tackle research in earthquake early warning (EEW) and subduction zone science in general, including operationalization of research products for hazard mitigation. Teaching opportunities may arise in the form of lectures, seminars, mentoring, and lab instruction.

The candidate chosen for this position will be expected to secure external grant funding for their research. The appointment is not tenure eligible and has an annual service period of twelve months. The starting date of employment is anticipated to be March 1, 2023.

The Department of Earth and Space strives for an equitable, inclusive and welcoming departmental culture that values and honors diverse experiences and perspectives, that fosters the constructive expression of ideas, and that promotes intellectual curiosity, creativity, and respect. The successful candidate will be expected to work collaboratively with faculty to advance these goals and to train and mentor graduate students from a wide range of disciplines, cultures, economic means, and academic backgrounds.

The Department of Earth and Space Sciences resides in the College of the Environment, which fosters collaborations among faculty, staff, and students. This position will offer opportunities for interaction with researchers in a wide range of disciplines, including planetary surface processes, petrology, astrobiology, glaciology, oceanography, and chemistry.

The UW is located in the greater Seattle metropolitan area, with a dynamic, multicultural community of nearly 4 million people and a range of ecosystems from mountains to ocean. The UW serves a diverse population of 80,000 students, faculty and staff (including 25% first-generation college students, over 25% Pell Grant students, and faculty from over 70 countries).

The University of Washington offers a wide range of professional development and networking opportunities for instructors and a comprehensive benefits package, including access to campus childcare and health/vision/dental plans for spouse, qualified domestic partner, and/or dependents.
