Stanford University invites applications in the broad area of Oceans for a tenure-track Assistant Professor level appointment. They are searching for pioneering scholars with a demonstrated record of high-impact research and a commitment to contribute to a strong interdisciplinary university community in ocean research, education, and external impact.
Stanford invites candidates in any area of ocean science, sustainability, technology, and human dimensions to apply. Examples of areas of scholarship could include scalable ocean observing, ocean-based climate solutions, sustainable blue food systems, ocean genomics, conservation physiology, ocean data science, marine biodiversity, blue justice, and coastal social-ecological systems dynamics and adaptation, among many others.
Ideal candidates will work at the intersection of different disciplines or be interested in collaboratively combining their fundamental knowledge and expertise with those of others to carry out research that could include the fundamental discovery of ocean biodiversity and processes, understanding the role oceans play in a thriving planet, including the interaction of humans and the ocean, as well as the development of solutions for ocean health and sustainability.
