<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">As part of a larger investment to create a new Science of Living System Initiative, the Department of Geosciences
at Auburn University invites applications for a new tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Organic Biogeochemistry, beginning in the Fall Semester 2019. Specialties may include, but are not limited to 1) investigating biogeochemical processes occurring
at or near the Earth’s surface across the broad spectrum of interfaces ranging in scale from global to molecular; 2) the role of life in the transformation and evolution of Earth’s biogeochemical cycles; 3) surficial biogeochemical systems and cycles, including
their modification through climate change and human activities; 4) mineralogy and biogeochemistry of earth materials; 5) geomicrobiology and biomineralization processes and their applications in environmental remediation; and 6) environmental health related
to air, soil, and water pollution. We seek a dynamic individual who will play a leadership role in propelling our new interdisciplinary Earth System Science PhD Program. Collaborative research programs that are regional or global in scope are currently active
with faculty in the College of Sciences and Mathematics, School of Forestry and Wildlife Science, College of Engineering, and College of Agriculture. New faculty with expertise in Organic Biogeochemistry will complement the University’s considerable existing
expertise in the areas of hydrogeology, climate change/paleoclimate sciences, environmental geochemistry, and sedimentary geology. The successful candidate is expected to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program, publish scholarly work, and advise
graduate and undergraduate students. The successful candidate will have duties that include teaching graduate and undergraduate courses based on his/her expertise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">Applications must include curriculum vitae, letter of application describing professional experience, research
and teaching interests, copies of official transcripts, and the names and contact information of three professional references.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
