We invite applications for the Wiess Visiting Professorship in Earth Science. We particularly encourage scientists in fields allied with our department's focus areas: computational geophysics, seismology, tectonophysics, tectonics, geochemistry, sedimentology and global change.  The visiting professor funds provide one semester of salary for a visitor to conduct research at Rice, and can be used to extend a normal sabbatical leave. A research stipend is also provided.
