> The Department of Earth and Environmental Science at Temple University in<br>
> Philadelphia is entering a period of<br>
> growth with a newly launched Ph.D. program. To achieve this growth, the<br>
> department seeks to fill two tenure-track<br>
> faculty positions to begin in August 2015. One of the positions will be in<br>
> the<br>
> area of REMOTE SENSING. A second position will be in the area of<br>
> GEOMATERIALS. Exceptional<br>
> candidates holding a Ph.D. are encouraged to apply at any level (assistant,<br>
> associate, or full<br>
> professor). Mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students and<br>
> securing external funding are expected. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a<br>
> relevant science discipline.<br>
><br>
> REMOTE<br>
> SENSING: We especially encourage applicants with a focus on the analysis of<br>
> Earth using airborne or satellite remote sensing platforms, expertise in<br>
> digital signal processing for geoscience applications, and<br>
> the use satellite data for understanding climate change. This appointment<br>
> will<br>
> complement existing expertise in geophysics, hydrogeology, structural<br>
> geology,<br>
> geomorphology, and planetary geology, and make use of the new<br>
> high-performance<br>
> computing cluster. Applicants should be able to teach undergraduate and<br>
> graduate courses including Remote Sensing and Physical Geology.<br>
><br>
> GEOMATERIALS:<br>
> Of particular interest are applicants with a focus on energy as well as earth<br>
> science, and with expertise in mineralogy and petrology that crossover to<br>
> material science. The candidate should investigate crystalline, glassy, or<br>
> melt<br>
> geomaterials with a goal of understanding the atomic-scale characteristics<br>
> that<br>
> lead to macroscopic properties in earth sciences. The individual is expected<br>
> to<br>
> use a combination of field or experimental based data collection and modeling<br>
> approaches. This appointment will complement existing expertise on the<br>
> properties of nano-minerals and geochemistry within EES as well as materials<br>
> research conducted through super-computing, engineering, chemistry, and<br>
> physics<br>
> utilizing a variety of in place instrumentation and the newly formed Temple<br>
> University Energy Frontier Research Center. Applicants should be able to<br>
> teach<br>
> undergraduate and graduate courses including Mineralogy and Petrology.<br>
