Apologies for cross-postings...
A new Professor level position in Geophysics will be available from
September 2007 at the University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis, France.
The initial deadline is the 16th of October 2006 (see below)
Research Profile : Geophysical Imaging and Natural Hazards
The successful candidate will integrate their research activities within the
CNRS research unit "Géosciences Azur"of the University of Nice - Sophia
Antipolis (CNRS UMR 6526 - IRD UR 082 - UNSA - UPMC), in which
signal detection and processing (for onshore and offshore tectonics) has
traditionally been a research strength. The university intends to reinforce
research in geophysical imaging and natural hazard assessment. The
successful candidate will be expected to initiate and direct research on the
characterization of seismically active zones from geophysical signal
detection and processing, as well as becoming involved in the new research
bodies soon to be established for natural hazard assessment.
Teaching Profile : Geophysics
The new "Undergraduate-Masters-Doctorate"university course structure in
France has generated the opportunity to renew the teaching profile in Earth
Sciences. At the University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis, this has proven a
big success as shown by the significant increase in students attracted to the
courses. Within this renewed teaching platform, studies of the physics of
the Earth (geophysics in its broadest sense) play an important role, notably
seismology and applications to natural hazard assessment.
As well as teaching basic fundamental and applied geophysics at
undergraduate student level (L1, L2, L3) the successful candidate must
become actively involved in teaching the Masters course "Earth Sciences
and Sustainable Development", both in the research options, and the
applied "professional" options. At these levels, the successful candidate
will specialize in teaching of pure geophysics, signal and data processing
methods, and geophysical imaging.
