Research Assistant Professor Position in Tectonics -- University of Pittsburgh, Department of Geology and Environmental Science
The Department of Geology and Environmental Science at the University of Pittsburgh https://www.geology.pitt.edu/ invites applications for a research assistant professor position. We are seeking a talented and creative research scientist to work on integrating deformation, exhumation, and landscape evolution. This appointment will work closely with the Tectonics group of Professor Nadine McQuarrie, studying the geometry, kinematic evolution, exhumation, and topographic development of compressional mountains. This appointment will be at the non-tenure level and begins September 1st, 2024. The position is initially available for two years, with the possibility of extension for one additional year.
The research focus of the Tectonics group at the University of Pittsburgh is quantitatively linking the kinematics derived from balanced cross-sections to 1) thermal advection-diffusion models that calculate potential temperature-time paths and resulting thermochronologic ages recorded at the earth’s surface, and 2) surface process models to assess the ability of proposed kinematic to replicate modern topography. A Ph.D. in Geoscience with a focus on tectonics and/or surface processes is required. While there is flexibility in the candidate’s specific research directions, the position will involve creating kinematic models of deformation, running model simulations in Pecube, Cascade, or Fastscape, and analyzing the output. Maintaining accurate and comprehensive files documenting model runs, and results and outlining workflow is critical as is displaying data and output graphically. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in kinematic restoration, and/or a background in quantitative geomorphology. Candidates should have a publication record in peer-reviewed journals. Proficiency in Matlab or Python is helpful. Salary will be commensurate with experience.
How to Apply:
If interested, please contact Nadine McQuarrie at nmcq@pitt.edu with questions.
To ensure full consideration, complete applications should be received by May 30, 2024. However, applications will be accepted for the duration of the search. Applicants can apply online at Talent Center: https://www.join.pitt.edu. Candidates should submit:
The University of Pittsburgh is committed to championing all aspects of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within our community. This commitment is a fundamental value of the University and is crucial in helping us advance our mission, which includes attracting and retaining diverse workforces. We will continue to create and maintain an environment that allows individuals to discover, belong, contribute, and grow, while honoring the experiences, perspectives, and unique identities of all.
