POSITION SUMMARY:


Summary: The Department of Geoscience invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of hydrogeology. In the case of advanced achievement, hiring at the rank of Associate Professor will be considered. Research areas of interest include (but are not limited to): reactive transport and subsurface biogeochemical processes; use of novel observational tools for addressing groundwater issues (e.g., remote sensing, isotopic tracers, hydrogeophysics); interactions between groundwater and other components of the hydrologic cycle (surface water, oceans, glaciers, biota); interactions between groundwater and energy systems (e.g., methane, geothermal); and interactions between groundwater and climate change. We are especially interested in candidates whose research implements some combination of field, laboratory and modeling approaches.

Duties: The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to the research and teaching mission of the Department of Geoscience. Successful research activity will be demonstrated through the development of a vibrant, internationally recognized, and externally funded research program. Teaching responsibilities will include some combination of introductory geoscience courses for undergraduates, upper level undergraduate courses, and graduate-level courses related to the candidate's specialty. The successful applicant is expected to contribute to an inclusive environment, and to bring new perspectives on mentoring and educating students from diverse backgrounds. The selected applicant will also contribute to professional and university service as appropriate.

Strong potential for collaborative interactions exist within the department, as well as with water researchers across the UW-Madison Campus that are members of the water at UW-Madison community (https://water.wisc.edu/faculty-staff/). UW-Madison is also uniquely positioned for collaboration with state and federal agencies based in the Madison area, including the USGS Water Science Center, the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and USDA.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:


We aim to add new faculty who value collegiality and collaboration in both research and teaching.
