The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a position in planetary sciences, at the Assistant Professor level. Applicants’ research should focus primarily on processes and bodies in this solar system (other than Earth). We are interested in candidates concentrating on research areas that include, but are not restricted to: planetary surface processes, planetary magnetism, accretionary/orbital dynamics, and cosmochemistry. We also welcome qualified applicants whose technical expertise will build upon or complement our existing strengths in areas such as planetary interiors and planetary atmospheres.
