                <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>

                  Applicants must submit a cover letter, CV, research
                  statement, teaching statement, and contact information

                  broadly diverse perspectives, experiences, and
                  backgrounds in educational, research or other work
                  activities. We will also favorably consider experience
