<h2>Tenure Track Position in Aqueous &
Environmental Geochemistry</h2>
<h3>Department of Geosciences, University of
Massachusetts Amherst</h3>

<br>
<div id="text">The Department of Geosciences at the
University of Massachusetts invites applications for a
tenure track position in Aqueous and Environmental
Geochemistry at the Assistant Professor level starting
Fall 2017. We are seeking talented applicants
qualified for an assistant professor position. Under
exceptional circumstances, highly qualified candidates
at other ranks may receive consideration. A Ph.D. in
Geosciences or related field is required at the time
of appointment and post-doctoral experience is
preferred.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
The successful candidate will have research interests
within the broad area covered by the position title.
These areas might include critical zone and
near-surface weathering, processes that occur at
solid-water interface, including biological
interactions, or chemical, physical and biological
processes controlling the transport of dissolved
species. It is hoped that the candidate will have
interests in isotope or trace element geochemistry and
the application of geochemical tools to a broad range
of scientific questions.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
Research within the Department of Geosciences revolves
around four main clusters: Global Change and Surface
Processes; Water; Dynamic Earth; and Geography,
Society and the Environment. It is expected that
successful candidate will develop a rigorous
externally funded research program and contribute to
one or more of these research themes. Candidates who
have experience in integrating geochemical tools with
quantitative approaches to solving problems in natural
systems are especially encouraged. Field-oriented
research that could be incorporated into both
undergraduate and graduate courses will be an asset.
Teaching will involve participation in a
large-enrollment introductory course in addition to
appropriate advanced undergraduate and graduate
courses.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
Applicants must submit a cover letter, CV, research
statement, teaching statement, and contact information
for three referees familiar with their research and
teaching efforts to<a
