Faculty Positions in Coastal Hydrogeology and Geochemistry
Skidaway Institute of Oceanography
The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (SkIO) invites applications for two faculty positions available 1 July 2010. These scientists will complement SkIO’s existing programs in marine and coastal geology, sediment and stable isotope geochemistry, coastal physics, biological oceanography, microbial ecology and environmental chemistry. Applicants are encouraged to learn more about the Institute and its programs at www.skio.usg.edu.
Coastal Hydrogeology. SkIO seeks candidates with demonstrated interest in interdisciplinary research on material and water exchange between surface waters, surficial aquifers and/or intertidal wetlands, the role of these hydrologic systems in the transfer and fate of carbon, nutrients and/or other materials in the coastal zone and applications of models to these processes.
Marine Geochemistry. Candidates with interests in either inorganic or organic geochemistry are encouraged to apply. While individuals from all sub-disciplines of geochemistry may apply, we particularly welcome applicants with interests in carbon cycling within coastal marine waters. A history of collaboration or leadership in interdisciplinary research is an advantage.
The appointments will be made at either the Assistant or Associate Professor level, depending upon qualifications. Candidates for both positions should demonstrate strong evidence of (or potential for) the ability to conduct an active, extramurally funded research program. While SkIO is primarily a research institution, there are opportunities for interactions with local and regional academic institutions. Some level of participation in joint educational programs is expected. Send CV, statement of research interests and teaching experience and contact information for at least three references to resumes@skio.usg.edu. Please attach required documents in PDF format. Include either Hydrogeologist search or Geochemist search in the subject line. Electronic applications are strongly encouraged, but paper applications may be sent to Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, 10 Ocean Science Circle, Savannah, GA, 31411. Review of applications will begin on November 30, 2009 and will continue until the positions are filled. EOE/AA Employer.
