[ES_JOBS_NET] Ecohydrologist - Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track)

[Erika Marín-Spiotta]

   The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science at the
   University of Nevada Reno (www.cabnr.unr.edu/nres) seeks an
   Ecohydrologist
   at the Assistant Professor level to conduct research, teach
   undergraduate
   and graduate courses, and to provide outreach in Ecohydrology, which
   involves the interactions and associated feedbacks between ecological
   systems and the hydrologic cycle. The Department is very
   interdisciplinary
   with faculty having expertise and research interests in the areas of
   hydrology, limnology, plant sciences, forestry, soil science,
   environmental
   science, landscape ecology, and wildlife science. The Department
   maintains
   a Master's of Science program and offers doctoral degrees through three
   interdisciplinary programs managed by the University of Nevada,
   including
   the Graduate Program of Hydrologic Sciences (www.hydro.unr.edu), a
   collaborative effort between UNR and the Desert Research Institute that
   offers excellent opportunities for teaching and research. In addition,
   the
   Department has developed and offers the only undergraduate Bachelor of
   Science degree in Ecohydrology in the nation
   (www.ag.unr.edu/nres/bs_ecohydrology.aspx). The desired candidate is
   expected to collaborate broadly across the Department, the College of
   Agriculture, Biotechnology, and Natural Resources, the University, and
   Federal, State, and local agencies, and will play a fundamental role in
   the
   Ecohydrology undergraduate major.



   Successful applicants are expected to:

   · establish a nationally-recognized, competitive research program
   in the broad area of Ecohydrology

   · publish in peer-reviewed journals

   · obtain extramural grant support

   · teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Ecohydrology and
   introductory hydrology that are required for Departmental and
   interdisciplinary academic programs

   · teach additional courses within their area of specialization

   · advise undergraduate and graduate students in the Department and
   in appropriate interdisciplinary graduate programs; and

   · provide outreach research, education, and leadership to academic,
   State, professional, and public stakeholders

   The position is expected to be filled as a 9-month tenure track position
   at
   the Assistant Professor level. A start date of August 1, 2014 is
   desired,
   but can be negotiated.



   *Required qualifications*: Candidates must have a Ph.D. in hydrology,
   ecology, or a related field in the natural sciences or engineering, have
   strong quantitative skills, and a record of scholarly activity in the
   form
   of publications and grants in the field of ecohydrology.



   *Preferred qualifications*: Postdoctoral or supervisory experience with
   students at graduate and undergraduate levels.

   In their application package candidates should articulate the following
   qualifications:

   · An interest in collaborating broadly across disciplines and
   University academic units to explore questions relating to Ecohydrology.

   · Ability to establish a strong research program that could include
   experimental, field-based and/or modeling approaches.

   · Research and teaching experience related to Ecohydrology.



   Applications received by April 9, 2014 will receive full consideration.



   The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences has over
   300
   undergraduates, 55 graduate students, 19 full-time faculty and an annual

   funding
   competitions. Reno is located on the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada
