[ES_JOBS_NET] Two Faculty Positions at Oregon State University Focused on Water

[Erika Marín-Spiotta]

Dear Geography Department chairs,
Please pass this message on to relevant applicants.
Best,
Julia Jones
Professor, Director, Geography, Oregon State University



Dear Colleagues,

The College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) at Oregon
State University (OSU) in Corvallis, Oregon invites applications for two
tenure-track Assistant Professor positions focused on water, one with a
specific focus on remote sensing of water (
https://jobs.oregonstate.edu/postings/67233) and the other with a specific
focus on hydrogeology (https://jobs.oregonstate.edu/postings/67233).

Please see details below.

Best,

Peter R.

These positions can be structured as traditional 9-month, 1.0 FTE (full
time equivalent) faculty positions, or alternatively as 12-month positions
at 0.75 FTE. In either case, there is an expectation that the successful
candidate will secure funding to augment the university-provided salary.

*Remote Sensing of Water:*
We seek a colleague who will develop and maintain a vigorous,
externally-funded research program in the remote sensing of water,
including snow and ice, and who will teach high quality undergraduate and
graduate courses. The successful applicant is expected to use novel remote
sensing approaches to observe and modelthe spatial and temporal patterns of
water stocks andsurface and subsurface fluxes of water to/from the oceans,
vegetation, soil, snow and ice, aquifers, surface water bodies and
watersheds across all scales in thelandscape. Spatial and temporal
distributions and fluxesof water are of increasing relevance for
understandingclimate dynamics and water scarcity for ecosystems andhumans. The
successful applicant will help lead majorinnovative research directions in
CEOAS linkingatmosphere, vegetation, hydrosphere, and human systems. We
seek an outstanding scholar to develop cutting-edge strategies to combine
remote sensing technologies with direct measurements, existing or new.  This
could involve using spatial and temporal data onwater storage to model and
infer fluxes of moisture toand from the atmosphere, to understand vegetation
water stress, human withdrawals of water from surface and subsurface
reservoirs, to anticipate emergentdrought conditions, and/or to understand
or predict other natural hazards or impacts on humans. The successful
applicant will devise new applications and analyses forlinking traditional
remotely-sensed imagery with noveltechnologies to clarify interactions
between water, climate, terrestrial landscapes, and human systems.


Requirements include Ph.D. in physical geography, water resources,
geospatial science, earth sciences, environmental sciences, or other
related discipline by the start of employment.  To review the complete
announcement and to submit application documents see
https://jobs.oregonstate.edu/postings/67234.  For full consideration apply
by 11/16/2018.


*Hydrogeology:*
We seek a colleague who will develop and maintain a vigorous,
externally-funded research program in the field of hydrogeology and who
will teach high quality undergraduate and graduate courses. The successful
applicant is expected to explore the subsurface and/or surface distribution
and movement of water in rock and soil to clarify interactions between
water, climate, terrestrial and/or marine landscapes, and human systems. We
seek an outstanding scholar with experience in fundamental Earth Science
questions across a range of temporal and spatial scales, such as linkages
between the hydrologic cycle, erosion and weathering; terrestrial water
supply resilience in a changing environment; or storage, transport, or
remediation of environmental contaminants. These issues are critical to
existing research programs and an effective curriculum within CEOAS and
across OSU. This position will have the opportunity to develop
collaborations within CEOAS and across OSU, including in Earth surface
processes, environmental geochemistry, fluid-mineral reactions, and/or
paleoclimate, and have access to world class existing campus geochemical
laboratories, field sites, and imaging facilities.


Requirements include Ph.D. in hydrogeology, geology, hydrology, water
resources, or other related discipline by the start of employment. To
review the complete announcement and to submit application documents see
https://jobs.oregonstate.edu/postings/67233.  For full consideration apply
by 11/16/2018.
