1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Anthony Hildenbrand <anthony.hildenbrand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, This message is to inform you that Paris-Saclay University is now opening a Junior Professor Chair on *Submarine Volcanism* at the GEOPS laboratory. Please note that deadlines are very tight and application must be deposited *before August 22nd. * Details about the position and application procedure are given below. This tenure-track position is open to candidates from any country, without the requirement to speak French (teaching can be given in English). Please forward this message to your potentially interested young colleagues. ============= Tenure-track professorship (Junior Professor Chair) n°253102 Laboratory GEOPS at University Paris-Saclay (France) *Global and societal issues of underwater volcanism* This position is open for application until *August 22nd 2025*. It is part of a strategic initiative to strengthen the GEOPS laboratoryâ??s expertise in submarine volcanology and its dating for risk assessment and societal issues. Candidates with experience abroad will be appreciated. The successful candidate will: â?¢ Develop multidisciplinary research on underwater volcanism, which remains very little studied, both on the ocean floors and the basal parts of oceanic volcanoes. The recent initiation of a large eruption in an area known to be inactive off the coast of Mayotte has highlighted the needs of the national scientific community to increase the study of underwater volcanism, its temporal evolution, as well as its role in climate change. The research related to this CPJ will contribute to the study of the evolution of oceanic islands and the induced volcanological risks, including associated tsunamis, by characterizing their underwater activity (e.g. Antilles, Comoros, Azores, Canary Islands, Mascarenes). The impact of volcanism on the marine environment, whether through alteration products or volatiles emitted during eruptive crises, will also be studied. As GEOPS has developed unique facilities for argon dating, the successful candidate will benefit of a unique environment to precisely control the timing of submarine volcanic processes. â?¢ Develop international research programs by integrating into the collaborations already in place within the GEOPS laboratory, and by building his/her own network of international partners. He/She will be able to rely on the actions implemented by the Graduate School Geosciences and at the University level. In particular, he/she will be encouraged to apply to international calls for projects, such as the European ERC programs. â?¢ Work as a teacher in the Earth Sciences Department of the Faculty of Sciences of Orsay. He or she will teach in the Bachelor's and Master's level courses in Earth and Planetary Sciences, Environment (STePE) at the University of Paris-Saclay. The recruited person must be able to teach, in lectures, tutorials, and practical work, particularly on topics related to mineralogy, volcanology, marine geosciences, geochemistry in the teaching units offered by the two Bachelor's degrees. He or she must also be motivated by geology teaching in the field and will be a force for proposing new teaching approaches. He or she will also be involved in specialized courses of the Master's STePE. The future professor will be in charge of pedagogical responsibilities for the development and influence of the training courses of the Earth Sciences Department. This tenure-track position (gross annual salary: 42,700 â?¬) is for a period of 3 to 6 years, with the possibility of permanent appointment as a full tenured professor after a positive evaluation. During this period, only 64 hours per year of teaching are required. Once the tenured professorship is hold, the teaching load will correspond to the standard 192 hours per year of the French university system. The tenured professorship comes with a grant of 200,000 euros, from which 60% will be used for the recruitment of a doctoral student or a post-doctoral fellow. *Université Paris-Saclay* was born from the shared ambition of French universities, grandes écoles and national research organizations. As a leading university in Europe and the world, it covers the fields of science and engineering, life sciences and health, and humanities and social sciences. The universityâ??s science policy closely intertwines research and innovation, incorporating both basic and applied science to tackle major societal challenges. Located to the south of Paris, the university extends across a vast and rich local area. Its location strengthens both its international visibility and its close ties with its socio-economic partners. Université Paris-Saclay also appears in the worldâ??s Top 20 universities and as Franceâ??s top university. *GEOPS (Geosciences Paris-Saclay)* laboratory is made up of 4 teams working on : (i) geochronology and geomorphology of planetary and volcanic systems, (ii) the interactions and dynamics of water reservoirs and superficial rocks, (iii) the movements of continental crust, the evolution of sedimentary reservoirs and resources, (iv) the study of climate dynamics in the past. *Application procedure: * Application will be performed online from the new ODYSSEE website until *August 22nd 2025*: https://odyssee.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr After having created you own account, go to: - â??Proceduresâ??, - â??Recruitment ECâ??, - â??National job offersâ??, from this page you can find the position offer (â??Search by extension numberâ??: 253102), - Select the Job offer n°253102 and apply by filling the requested items. - In addition, you must complete your application by using the application form â??pj_application_form_eng.docxâ?? from the Université Paris-Saclay website: https://www.universite-paris-saclay.fr/en/luniversite/recrutement/tenure-track-juniorprofessor-chairs-cpj-2025-campaign Please do not hesitate to contact us for any questions regarding application requirements and/or regarding the GEOPS laboratory and research. *Note that the GEOPS website is currently unavailable due to a recent hacking attempt. * *Contacts: * Pr Xavier Quidelleur (xavier.quidelleur@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Pr Alexandra Courtin (alexandra.courin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Pr Christophe Colin (christophe.colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
