Computational Geoscientist Position

Stanford University’s School of Earth Sciences invites applications for a senior tenure-track faculty appointment at either the Associate or Full Professor level in the area of computational geosciences. We welcome applicants with strong skills in computational theory and practice, as well as a working familiarity with numerical methods for large-scale problems, parallelization paradigms, and modern computer systems. The successful applicant will have research experience or interests in applications to Earth and environmental problems, including but not limited to one or more of the following areas: energy, water, other natural resources, atmospheres, oceans, fluid dynamics, geodynamics, geomechanics, hazards, seismology, electromagnetics, inversion, optimization, and imaging of the earth surface and interior. Experience with large geoscience datasets is desirable.

Strong interest in or experience with research collaboration and teaching across earth and environmental science disciplines is highly desirable. We expect the successful applicant to lead development and growth of the Stanford Center for Computational Earth and Environmental Science. The Center, with its shared high productivity computing resources, seeks to expand research and educational opportunities in computational geosciences. This appointment will be with one (or jointly with two) of the four departments in the School of Earth Sciences: Energy Resources Engineering, Geological and Environmental Sciences, Geophysics, and Environmental Earth System Science (proposed). Further information about the School of Earth Sciences and this search can be found at http://pangea.stanford.edu/.
