 Hi:

The Department of Environmental Sciences at UC Riverside is seeking two
assistant professors. Experience with stable isotopes would be a plus.

Position 1:

*ASSISTANT PROFESSOR*

*Watershed Hydrology*

*University of California, Riverside*

The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California,
Riverside invites applications for a tenure track position in watershed
hydrology at the rank of Assistant Professor. The position has 25%
Instruction and Research and 75% Organized Research in the Agricultural
Experiment Station
http://ucanr.edu/About_ANR/What_is_ANR.<http://ucanr.edu/About_ANR/What_is_ANR.%20>
The
successful candidate will develop a nationally recognized program in
watershed hydrology focused on water supply and sustainability for
agricultural, urban, and environmental uses. The incumbent is expected to
have expertise in regional-scale hydrological modeling and geographical
information systems (GIS). Research areas may include, but are not limited
to, the impact of climate change on watershed response (e.g., timing,
frequency and duration of runoff events), and regional changes in snowpack,
groundwater/soil water storage and evapotranspiration. The incumbent will
be encouraged to work with current faculty in related fields including
limnology, environmental chemistry, water resource management and water
resource economics, as well as faculty in allied departments focused on
climate modeling, terrestrial and fire ecology, and water resources
engineering. The successful candidate is expected to be fully engaged 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 MS and Ph.D
students). Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate courses in
physical hydrology and GIS and graduate courses in the candidate’s area of
specialty. A Ph.D. in hydrology, or related field and a proven ability to
conduct innovative hydrologic research are required. Evaluation of
applications will begin on January 10, 2014, but the position will remain
open until filled. Applications must include a vita, statements of research
and teaching interests and a list of five professional references. All
application materials, including letters of recommendation, must be
submitted through AP Recruit at: https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/apply/JPF00055.

For more information about the position, please contact Dr. James Sickman,
Department of Environmental Sciences, University of California, Riverside;
jsickman at ucr.edu. The University of California is an Affirmative
Action/Equal Opportunity employer and supports dual career couples.

Position 2

*ASSISTANT PROFESSOR*

*Soil Biogeochemistry*

*University of California, Riverside*

The Department of Environmental Sciences invites applications for a 9-month
tenure track position in Soil Biogeochemistry at the Assistant Professor
rank. The position has 25% Instruction and Research and 75% Organized
Research in the Agricultural Experiment Station
http://cnas.ucr.edu/about/anr/.  The successful candidate will develop a
nationally recognized program in soil biogeochemistry with an emphasis on
transformations of nutrients, carbon, trace elements, and contaminants in
soils.  This individual will have training in both biogeochemistry and soil
science to address the processes that underlie the dynamics and fate of
major and trace elements in soils. The focus will be on biogeochemical
processes that occur over a range of scales, but with an emphasis on the
watershed or subwatershed as an experimental unit.  A wide range of soil
biogeochemical processes affect the water quality and environmental and
agricultural sustainability of our region.  Examples of potential research
questions include feedbacks between climate change and availability and
transformations of nutrients within a watershed or ecosystem; trace element
dynamics in soils and groundwater; and biogeochemical cycling of
contaminants in the soil-water-air continuum. The incumbent is expected to
have expertise in the measurement of biogeochemical processes and rates,
and the feedback that exists between terrestrial biogeochemistry and
surface and groundwater quality.  This hire will complement existing
faculty in our Department working on watershed processes, water and
chemical transport in soils, water quality and protection, and aerosol
formation and transport, as well as faculty in related departments working
on climate change, ecosystems ecology, and invasive species. The successful
candidate is expected to fully engage in the teaching mission of the
department and the college, including formal classroom instruction at the
undergraduate and graduate levels, and mentoring of baccalaureate, MS, and
PhD students in research and the process of knowledge development. This
faculty member will be expected to teach introductory soil science and a
graduate-level course in her/his specialty, such as soil chemistry or
biogeochemistry.  A Ph.D. in soil science or a related discipline with
emphasis in soil science and a proven ability to conduct innovative
research are required. Applications must include a curriculum vitae,
statements of research and teaching interests, and a list of five
professional references.  All application materials, including letters of
recommendation, must be submitted online through AP Recruit at: https://
aprecruit.ucr.edu*/*.

For additional information, please contact the chair of the search
committee, Dr. Robert Graham (robert.graham at ucr.edu). Evaluations of
applications will begin January 10, 2014, but the position will remain open
until filled. Salary will be commensurate with education and experience.
