<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Riverside invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured position in Pedology at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The
position has 75% Instruction and Research and 25% Organized Research in the Agricultural Experiment Station (</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt">http://cnas.ucr.edu/about/aes/)</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt">. The successful candidate will develop
a nationally recognized research program in pedology focused on how soils occur and function at landscape and regional scales in both natural and managed ecosystems. Expertise to span scales using soil mineralogy, soil morphology, and soil geomorphology approaches
is desired. Research may include using the soil record to interpret past climatic, geomorphic, and environmental conditions; the role of soils in watershed and ecosystem functions; soil processes that affect air and water quality; disturbed land reclamation;
landscape distribution of soil biogeochemical processes; and evaluation of regional scale soil and landuse issues. The incumbent will be encouraged to work with current faculty in related fields including hydrology, atmospheric science, geomorphology, and
ecosystem sciences. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">The successful candidate is expected to engage fully in the teaching mission of the department and university, including formal classroom instruction in the Environmental Sciences undergraduate and graduate
degree programs (including mentoring of both M.S. and Ph.D. students). Teaching responsibilities will include an undergraduate class in soil morphology, genesis, and classification; rotation in teaching Introduction to Soil Science; and graduate instruction
in the candidate’s area of specialty. A Ph.D. in soil science, or related field, and a proven ability to conduct innovative pedologic research are required. A broad educational background in soil science with a focus in pedology is expected, along with supporting
education in earth and ecosystem sciences. UCR is a world-class research university with an exceptionally diverse undergraduate student body. Its mission is explicitly linked to providing routes to educational success for underrepresented and first-generation
college students. A commitment to this mission is a preferred qualification. <o:p>
