------------------------------

The University of Oklahoma invites applications for a tenure-track
hydrogeology faculty position at the Assistant Professor rank. We are
seeking applications from a broad range of hydrogeology experiences,
including hydrogeochemistry and hydrogeophysics. This new position will
complement the ConocoPhillips School of Geology and Geophysics’ existing
strengths in petroleum, geophysical, and geochemical research while also
diversifying research and career options for our students with
non-petroleum interests. We seek an innovative colleague who will teach and
mentor undergraduates and graduate students at the M.S. and Ph.D. level. We
expect the successful applicant to develop a strong research and teaching
program that includes a substantial field component and integrates local,
regional, national, and international issues. The candidate should have an
interest and ability to develop into an excellent teacher; the candidate
will teach 3 courses per year, including a hydrogeology course and a
graduate course in the applicant’s area of expertise. The candidate may
also participate in our summer field course.

Salary, benefits, and start-up funds will be competitive and commensurate
with experience. The ConocoPhillips School of Geology and Geophysics has a
large, vibrant faculty with a broad range of research activities from
fundamental to applied science and strong ties to the petroleum industry.
The student body currently includes 125 undergraduates and 100 M.S. and
Ph.D. students. The University of Oklahoma employs many faculty with water
research programs in different departments across campus and has developed
several active initiatives focused on water monitoring, conservation,
remediation, and management (e.g., OU WaTER Center
<http://www.ou.edu/coe/centers/water.html>, Hydrometeorology and Remote
Sensing Laboratory <http://hydro.ou.edu/>, Oklahoma Water Survey
<http://oklahomawatersurvey.org/>, Oklahoma Geological Survey Hydrogeology
Lab <http://kylemurray.oucreate.com/>, Water-Energy-Food Institute (WEFI)
<http://wefi.dges.ou.edu/>, the Neeson Lab <http://neesonlab.oucreate.com/>,
and Center for Restoration of Ecosystems and Watersheds
<http://www.ou.edu/coe/centers/crew.html>). This environment will provide
the successful applicant with many opportunities for collaboration both
within the College of Earth and Energy and the broader University community.
