The position is a 12-month, non-tenure track appointment with faculty rank at 
the research associate professor level.  The appointment will begin no later 
than July 1, 2003, but an earlier start date is both possible and preferred.  
A doctorate in seismology, geophysics or a closely related field is required 
at the time of the appointment.  A minimum of three (3) years experience in 
seismic network design, operation and/or implementation is required as well 
as experience developing computer resources and managing system administration 
in a networked computing environment. Salary will be commensurate with 
experience.  The successful candidate will be expected to assume the Principal 
Investigator role in existing seismic network support grants and demonstrate a 
proven record of obtaining support from external granting agencies.  Other 
duties may include teaching graduate courses or seminars, graduate student 
advising, and conducting externally supported research on a time-permitting 
basis; the primary responsibility, however, is directing the CERI seismic 
and computer networks.
