Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Geological Oceanography

Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Geological Oceanography, with an Emphasis in Hydrography or Marine Geophysics

The College of Marine Science at the University of South Florida (USF) invites applications from Hydrographers or Marine Geophysicists whose research complements the strengths of the current faculty. We seek a hypothesis-driven, ocean-going scientist who uses a process-based approach to understand problems central to mapping the seafloor and its connections to Earth systems past, present, and future. The candidate will use innovative tools and multidisciplinary approaches to mapping the seafloor and subseafloor over a broad range of spatial and temporal scales.

Successful candidates may take advantage of national and international initiatives in blue economy/green transition, scientific ocean drilling site surveys, economic seafloor investigations, fishery surveys, passive and active ocean acoustics, etc. Candidates will be selected on the basis of their potential to conduct transformative research within their discipline, their productivity with respect to peer reviewed publications, acquisition of external research funding, potential for outstanding mentoring and teaching, and commitment to fostering an equitable and inclusive working environment. The successful candidate is expected to teach courses in Hydrography, Marine Geophysics, and other relevant specialty courses at the graduate level.

Minimum Requirements: Must have a Ph.D. in a relevant scientific discipline at the time of hire, with research experience in the field of Geological Oceanography, with emphasis in Hydrography or Marine Geophysics. Preferred qualifications: We are seeking innovative and interdisciplinary scholars capable of interacting with colleagues across a range of related oceanography/marine science disciplines within academia, industry, and government. Familiarity with hydrographic hardware and software would be helpful.

For the Assistant Professor rank, candidates should have a record of scholarly products and demonstrate potential for an exemplary career of creative work and scholarly publication, demonstrate potential for acquisition of extramural research funding, exhibit a commitment to exemplary instruction and mentoring of graduate students, and demonstrate a culture of high ethics and service to their professional community and the public.

For the Associate Professor/ Professor ranks, candidates should have an outstanding record of research, including a substantive publication and other scholarly product record, evidence of success in obtaining extramural research funding, a commitment to exemplary instruction and mentoring of graduate students, and demonstrate a culture of high ethics and service to their professional community and the public.
