The School of Natural Sciences at the University of California, Merced is seeking one new faculty member at the Assistant (tenure-track) level in Earth Surface Processes. Candidates in all areas of geomorphology, geophysics, fluvial or aeolian processes, ecohydrology, watershed modeling or related fields are encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome candidates that consider effects of accelerated rate of anthropogenic and climate change on landform evolution (both marine and terrestrial), and with research interests that use/focus on emerging cross-disciplinary approaches such as: the coevolution of landscapes, climate, tectonic systems, life, and Earth’s sedimentary record; land-water-soil change and impacts; earth surface processes occurring at urban-agricultural-wildland interfaces; and natural hazards over any spatial and temporal scales. The successful candidate must have a strong publication record and have demonstrated the potential to develop and support an independent, innovative research program and to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration with life, earth, and environmental scientists across the UC Merced community. We seek outstanding scholars who will establish and maintain creative research programs; participate in creating a multi-faculty specialization in geosciences, earth science, environmental sciences, or a related field at UC Merced; participate actively in the development of innovative interdisciplinary programs and research; and, teach effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The successful candidate will be affiliated with the Department of Life and Environmental Sciences, in the School of Natural Sciences at UC Merced.

Qualifications: The candidate will have earned a Ph.D. degree in geosciences, earth science, environmental sciences, or a related field at the time of the appointment.

Applications must be submitted via the website and must include: (1) a cover letter stating research areas of interest; (2) curriculum vitae; (3) research statement; (4) teaching statement; (5) a diversity, equity and inclusion statement*; and (6) names of three references.

Once the search committee has determined the short list of candidates, the search committee chair will request letters of recommendation at that time.

Deadline: Review of applications will begin on January 1, 2020, with a final closing date of June 30, 2020.
