<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#333333">The School of Natural Sciences at the University of California, Merced is seeking one new faculty member at the Assistant (tenure-track) level in Earth Surface Processes. Candidates in
all areas of geomorphology, geophysics, fluvial or aeolian processes, ecohydrology, watershed modeling or related fields are encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome candidates that consider effects of accelerated rate of anthropogenic and climate change
on landform evolution (both marine and terrestrial), and with research interests that use/focus on emerging cross-disciplinary approaches such as: the coevolution of landscapes, climate, tectonic systems, life, and Earth’s sedimentary record; land-water-soil
change and impacts; earth surface processes occurring at urban-agricultural-wildland interfaces; and natural hazards over any spatial and temporal scales. The successful candidate must have a strong publication record and have demonstrated the potential to
develop and support an independent, innovative research program and to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration with life, earth, and environmental scientists across the UC Merced community. We seek outstanding scholars who will establish and maintain creative
research programs; participate in creating a multi-faculty specialization in geosciences, earth science, environmental sciences, or a related field at UC Merced; participate actively in the development of innovative interdisciplinary programs and research;
and, teach effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.</span><span style="font-family:"-webkit-standard",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
