Assistant Professor (Job #12117)

The School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) invites applications for
an Assistant Professor with expertise in geobiology and/or biogeochemistry.
Anticipated start date is August 2018.

We desire a candidate who (1) addresses fundamental questions in the
interdependence of biological and geochemical processes on Earth and other
habitable planets, and (2) can develop collaborations with other closely
affiliated research programs in SESE (possibilities include astrobiology,
geochemistry, ecosystem dynamics, hydrology, geodynamics, planetary
science, and surface processes).

We are interested in individuals showing capacities to bridge research in
biological and geological processes. Examples include combining the
geologic and genomic records to reveal the history of geobiological
processes, harnessing molecular methods to track energy and material flows
in active ecosystems, and theoretical developments related to the origin
and evolution of life.

The successful candidate will be expected to conduct research in biological
and geochemical processes, teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels,
and participate in service activities in the school, college and university.

Minimum qualifications:

   - PhD in Geobiology or related field by the time of appointment.
   - Established publication track record in Earth or planetary
   geobiological research.
   - Demonstrated expertise in research methods that reveal biological and
   geochemical interactions.
