What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Professor Near-Surface Geophysics position at University of North Carolina at Charlotte?
Research and Teaching areas: The successful candidate is expected to collect and use field-based geophysical observations (e.g., seismic, electrical, acoustic emissions, ambient noise seismology, UAS and other electromagnetic surveys, or GPR), preferably with complementary quantitative analytical approaches (e.g., deterministic modeling, experimentation, inversion, data fusion, or AI/machine learning tools).
Application and teaching areas may include hydrogeophysics (e.g., groundwater, vadose zone, contaminant transport), fracture mechanics/rock physics, geohazards (e.g., landslides, karst, liquefaction), urban geosciences (e.g., subsurface infrastructure, mapping rock/soil boundaries, cavity and tunnel detection), soils/critical zone (e.g., critical zone architecture, pedogenesis, weathering, fracture networks, carbon sequestration), land-atmosphere feedbacks (e.g., soil moisture-boundary layer coupling); and resources and sustainability (e.g., geothermal, critical minerals, energy).
Qualifications. A Ph.D. is required in Geology, Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Geophysics, or a related physical science field by the start date of the position.
