The successful candidate will manage a portfolio of research in marine geophysics, including research relating to: the structure and tectonic evolution of the oceanic lithosphere and its associated volcanic, magmatic, hydrothermal, and earthquake activity; the tectonics and morphology of the seafloor and the geodynamic processes that create it; and subseafloor fluid flow that controls the exchange of heat and chemical species between seawater, abyssal ecosystems, and ocean crust. The individual selected for this position will also oversee NSF-funded marine geophysical infrastructure and data centers, coordinating with the Division of Ocean Sciences facilities group to facilitate access to marine seismic facilities (e.g., the Ocean Bottom Seismometer Instrument Pool and 2D/3D seismic data acquisition platforms), as the Division of Ocean Sciences continues to implement community recommendations (e.g., the National Academy of Sciences report Sea Change: Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences 2015-2025).
