<p>TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS IN HYDROGEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY</p>
<p>The Department of Geosciences at The Pennsylvania State University invites<br>
applications for two tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant<br>
Professor, in the fields of Hydrogeology and Geomorphology. We seek<br>
colleagues who will continue strong legacies in hydrologic sciences and<br>
geomorphology, contribute to highly active and diverse research programs in<br>
the Department and College through the development of vigorous externally<br>
funded research programs, and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in<br>
their discipline. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in geosciences or related<br>
field at the time of appointment.</p>
<p>Assistant Professor of Hydrogeology: Candidates who creatively use<br>
theoretical, observational, and/or experimental approaches to address<br>
fundamental problems in hydrosciences are encouraged to apply. The<br>
successful candidate will have the opportunity to participate in several<br>
campus-wide initiatives in water resources through the Penn State Institute<br>
for Energy and the Environment (<a href="http://www.psiee.psu.edu">http://www.psiee.psu.edu</a>) and the Earth and<br>
Environmental Systems Institute (<a href="http://www.eesi.psu.edu">http://www.eesi.psu.edu</a>).</p>
<p>Assistant Professor of Geomorphology and Landscape Dynamics: We are seeking<br>
candidates who conduct innovative research on landscape dynamics at a range<br>
of temporal and spatial scales in order to understand, for example, natural<br>
hazards, the evolution of Earth and planetary surfaces, and/or feedbacks<br>
between surface processes, climate, and tectonics.</p>
<p>The Department of Geosciences is part of the College of Earth and Mineral<br>
Sciences, and houses top-ranked research programs in environmental and<br>
climate sciences, geology, geophysics, and geochemistry (further information<br>
is available at: <a href="http://www.geosc.psu.edu">http://www.geosc.psu.edu</a>). The Department and College also<br>
host research centers with foci on climate, environment, energy, and policy,<br>
including the Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory; the Earth System<br>
Science Center; the Penn State Ice and Climate Research Center; the Riparia<br>
Center; and the Center for Geomechanics, Geofluids, and Geohazards. There<br>
are wide-ranging opportunities for collaboration in research and education<br>
in the College?s Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering and Energy<br>
Institute, and in departments within the Colleges of Engineering and<br>
Agricultural Sciences.</p>
<p>Candidates should send a complete curriculum vita, statements of research<br>
and teaching interests, and contact information for four references to:<br>
Search Committee Chair (please specify Hydrogeology or Geomorphology), 503<br>
