*Position Overview:* The Geohydrology Section of the Kansas Geological
Survey (KGS) has an open position for an individual to develop and lead a
field-based hydrogeochemical research program from the site- to
regional-scale. The Geohydrology Section conducts both fundamental and
applied research on hydrologic and hydrogeochemical systems ranging in
scale from site-specific to the river basin and regional aquifer level.
Scientific staff are expected to develop research programs that are of
national stature and highly relevant to Kansas. Areas of research include:
physical, stratigraphic, and geochemical characterization of sedimentary
aquifer systems; surface-water/groundwater interactions; spatial data
analysis/geostatistics; assessment of sustainable yields in complex
hydrologic systems; simulation of flow and transport processes; technology
for subsurface characterization; contaminant transport and source
identification; and groundwater thermometry.

Activities of the Geohydrology Section are complemented by researchers in
other sections of the KGS whose interests include surface geophysical
methods, geologic characterization, and petroleum generation/migration. The
section maintains a program of public information and education, and has
extensive interactions with water research and management entities at the
state, local, and federal levels. The KGS is a research and service unit of
The University of Kansas (KU), thereby providing opportunities to
collaborate with KU faculty and students in other departments and research
groups. Scientific staff may also have the opportunity to teach and serve
as advisors of graduate research. Further information about section
activities can be found at http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Hydro/hydroIndex.html.

*Salary, Employment Status, and Fringe Benefits:* Starting salary
negotiable depending on qualifications. Full-time, permanent position with
12-month appointment to faculty-equivalent staff at The University of
Kansas, subject to annual review. Benefits include university staff
privileges; sabbatical eligibility; 22 days vacation leave, 12 days sick
leave, and 9 holidays annually; group medical, life insurance, and
retirement program options.
