Dear Dr. Peacock,
The following job announcement may be of interest to subscribers to the
geophysics list. If you could therefore forward it on for me, I would be
most grateful.
Best regards,

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.
Informal inquiries may be made to Chris Wibberley :

[log in to unmask] (the latter for more formal
enquiries).
Following Alain Vauchez’s and Mark Jessell’s emails (and copied from
them !! (thanks guys)), the procedure to apply for a Professorship in
France is as follows :
Selection of candidates is a two-step process:
1) To be considered for this Professor position, the candidate must
hold a PhD, and have research and teaching experience (> 5 years) to be
qualified by the French Ministry of Education and Research:
(http://www.education.gouv.fr/personnel/enseignant_superieur/enseignant_chercheur/antares.htm)
go to "démarrer" click on Antares (qualification), then follow the steps
to fill the form
The deadline for application for this qualification step is Oct. 16, 2006.
2) A University committee will be set up in April/May 2007 to
evaluate and select the candidate, based on curriculum vitae, a
statement of research and teaching interests, and interview.
Professor Position: This is a permanent research and teaching position,
starting in September 2007. For a general description of recruitment at
the professor level in France, see

Health care and pension program are included in the salary.
