The Centre for Earth Sciences, IISc, invites applications for faculty positions from motivated individuals with an established record of independent, high-quality research and commitment to teaching. Candidates with specializations in all areas of earth sciences are encouraged to apply. The successful candidates are expected to establish independent research groups, develop graduate-level courses, and initiate multi-disciplinary research activities. The centre prefers applications at Assistant Professor’s level; candidates who have made outstanding research contributions and are experienced in research guidance and teaching may also apply for higher positions. Prospective faculty candidates are encouraged to make informal inquiries with the Chair (chair.ceas@iisc.ac.in). The Centre envisions interdisciplinary research to model solid earth and its internal dynamics, to understand processes that shape the earth and assess their impact on the geosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Through its research and academic programs, the centre aims to expand the frontiers of knowledge, provide quality education in basic and applied earth sciences and enable the use of newer technologies and skills to address both India-specific and global problems. Current research themes of interest to the Centre include paleoclimate reconstruction, isotope geochemistry, chemical oceanography, geobiology, metamorphic petrology, solid earth processes including mantle convection and lithosphere dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics.
