Faculty: Near Surface Geophysics, Rutgers University, USA Rutgers University-Newark seeks to fill a full-time, tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor for fall 2008 in the area of Environmental/Near Surface Geophysics. We seek candidates with expertise in near surface geophysical methods for the study of environmental processes occurring in the upper ~100 m of the Earth. Desirable areas of specialty include (but are not limited to) hydrogeophysics, biogeophysics, near surface stratigraphy, coastal processes, abiotic-biotic interactions and climate change related research. Candidates who wish to pursue interdisciplinary research, and could take advantage of unique opportunities resulting from our urban environmental setting on the doorstep of New York City, are particularly encouraged to apply. Excellent opportunities exist for collaboration with current faculty in near surface geophysics, soil geochemistry and ocean-atmosphere interactions. Establishing a vigorous, externally funded research program and advisement of MS/PhD students is essential. Effective teaching is required with a maximum teaching load of 3 courses per year. Applicants must have a Ph.D., a record of scholarly productivity and demonstrate potential to develop a funded program of research. Send a letter of application, a CV and names of three referees to Dr. Lee Slater, Search Chair, Dept. of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Rutgers University, 101 Warren St, Newark, NJ 07012 or mailto:lslater@andromeda.rutgers.edu. Review of completed applications will begin December 1 and continue until the position is filled. Rutgers University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
 

Faculty: Computational Geoscientist, Stanford University, USA Stanford University's School of Earth Sciences invites applications for a senior tenure-track faculty appointment at either the Associate or Full Professor level in the area of computational geosciences. We welcome applicants with strong skills in computational theory and practice, as well as a working familiarity with numerical methods for large-scale problems, parallelization paradigms, and modern computer systems. The successful applicant will have research experience or interests in applications to Earth and environmental problems, including but not limited to one or more of the following areas: energy, water, other natural resources, atmospheres, oceans, fluid dynamics, geodynamics, geomechanics, hazards, seismology, electromagnetics, inversion, optimization, and imaging of the earth surface and interior. Experience with large geoscience datasets is desirable. Strong interest in or experience with research collaboration and teaching across earth and environmental science disciplines is highly desirable. We expect the successful applicant to lead development and growth of the Stanford Center for Computational Earth and Environmental Science. The Center, with its shared high productivity computing resources, seeks to expand research and educational opportunities in computational geosciences. This appointment will be with one (or jointly with two) of the four departments in the School of Earth Sciences: Energy Resources Engineering, Geological and Environmental Sciences, Geophysics, and Environmental Earth System Science (proposed). Further information about the School of Earth Sciences and this search can be found at http://pangea.stanford.edu/. Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty. It welcomes nominations of and applications from women and minority groups, as well as others who would bring additional dimensions to the university's research, teaching and service missions. Applications, including curriculum vitae, a statement outlining research and teaching experience and interests, and the names and addresses of four referees should be sent in electronic format (.pdf only) to cg-search@sesmail.stanford.edu, addressed to Computational Geosciences Search Committee. Applications received by January 31, 2008 will receive full consideration, though the position will remain open until the appropriate applicant is identified.
