POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San
Diego invites applications for a full-time Researcher position to be funded
by extramural research grants and contracts in the area of Geodesy. We seek
outstanding candidates with expertise in areas including marine and/or
terrestrial geodesy, satellite geodesy, seafloor positioning, reference
frames, processing and analysis of geodetic positions (e.g., GNSS, InSAR),
modeling geophysical processes, time series analysis and data science
(e.g., machine learning). The successful candidate will be distinguished by
a deep understanding of geodetic methods and applications.

The Researcher series at Scripps Oceanography parallels the Professor
series in terms of research and service, but it carries no teaching
requirements. Researchers receive eleven-month appointments with 25% salary
support from institutional sources but are expected to establish an
externally funded research program that provides the remainder of their
salary support. Researchers at Scripps often obtain educator appointments
as well and serve as graduate student and postdoc advisors.

We seek motivated research geodesists to take advantage of new funding
opportunities to expand the pool of geodesists in the U.S. through
innovative research and mentoring students and postdocs and supporting a
new geodesy track within the existing geophysical curriculum. The
candidate's research program will complement and possibly overlap other
research efforts at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics such
as the Seafloor Geodesy Equipment Pool, the Scripps Orbit and Permanent
Array Center (SOPAC), and the Satellite Geodesy group. Initial funding may
be available from grants already awarded to these groups.

We are interested in candidates who have demonstrated excellence in
research and service, and who are committed toward building an equitable
and diverse scholarly environment. A competitive record of publication, as
well as evidence of the ability to conduct and fund an active research
program consistent with the appointment level, is required. Candidates will
be considered at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Researcher levels. The
ranks of Associate and Full level are expected to have a record of securing
extramural funding. Rank and salary will be consistent with the applicant's
qualifications, experience, and University of California pay scales.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography is a world-renowned center of solid
Earth, planetary, oceanographic, biological, and atmospheric research
committed to academic excellence and diversity within its student body,
staff, and approximately 200 principal investigators (
