The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at the University of
California in San Diego (http://scripps.ucsd.edu) invites faculty
applications (tenure track to tenured) to fill one or more positions
in one or more fields including the one listed below.  We seek
motivated, broad-thinking scientist-educators to establish vigorous
research programs and provide intellectual leadership in their fields
while complementing existing expertise at Scripps, other UCSD
departments, and nearby institutions.  SIO is a world renowned center
of marine research with approximately 200 principal investigators
leading research programs on all aspects of earth, ocean and
atmospheric sciences.

Successful candidates will be expected to teach classes and supervise
research at both the graduate and undergraduate level.  The positions
require a PhD degree and a competitive record of publication, as well
as evidence of the ability to conduct and fund an active research
program consistent with the opportunity to have done so at this career
level.

Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2009, and will
continue until positions are filled.  Applicants should send a letter
including descriptions of their teaching experience, research
interests, a list of publications, immigration status, the position(s)
for which they are applying and the names of three potential referees,
along with their complete institution address, email address, phone
and fax numbers to: Chair Search Committee, Department of the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, 9500
Gilman Dr., La Jolla, CA  92093-0208 USA.  Applicants should clearly

interest as stated below.  Questions about submission of applications
may be addressed to Cristy Whitehead at 858-534-3205, 
(gradrecruit at sio.ucsd.edu

and will be based on the UCSD pay scales.

Applicants are welcome to include in their cover letter a personal
statement summarizing their contributions to diversity.  UCSD is an
Equal Opportunity Employer with a strong institutional commitment to
excellence through diversity.

Earth Section: SIO invites applications to fill a faculty position
(with preference at the rank of Assistant Professor) in the sciences
of the solid Earth.  Areas of particular interest include continental
margins, seafloor structure and tectonics, sea-level and cryospheric
changes, earthquakes and other natural hazards, theoretical and
computational methods, and Earth and planetary history.  Candidates
should have demonstrated research competence, the ability to develop
new and innovative directions in research, and an interest in
teaching.  Interaction and collaboration with existing programs in the
Earth Section at Scripps are welcome, as are research areas that would
capitalize on our experimental marine and terrestrial seismic,
electromagnetic, and geodetic capabilities.  Members of the Earth
Section do research in geology, geophysics, chemistry, biogeosciences,
glaciology, and climate science (for more information see the Annual
Report at:  http://sio.ucsd.edu/Research/Research_Units/Earth_Science/)
