<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The Baylor University Department of Geosciences
</span>(<a href="http://www.baylor.edu/Geology/">http://www.baylor.edu/Geology/</a>)
<span style="color:black">seeks a dynamic scholar to fill this position beginning August, 2017. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Geology,
</span>Microbiology, or a closely related discipline with a strong emphasis on microbial mediation of biogeochemical and hydrological processes within the vadose and shallow saturated zones. Utilization of unique analytical techniques or conceptual modeling
coupled with field-based measurements is desired. <span style="color:black">Research areas may range in scope from the Critical Zone to global biogeochemistry with relevance to hydrologic cycles. Regardless of research focus area, enthusiasm for interdisciplinary
research and cultivation of new collaborations is essential to this position. The successful candidate may teach courses in geomicrobiology, soil hydrology, or biogeochemistry, establish and participate in externally-funded research, and successfully mentor
M.S. and Ph.D. candidates to graduation.</span> The Department currently consists of 17 tenured and tenure-track geoscientists, and supports the Baylor Center for Reservoir and Aquatic Systems Research (CRASR at
<a href="http://www.baylor.edu/crasr/">http://www.baylor.edu/crasr/</a> for further information). Research space is available in the 500,000 ft<sup>2</sup> “state-of-the-art” Baylor Sciences Building.<span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
