Primary Function of Organizational Unit

The Department of Marine Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (MEAS) includes
approximately 35 faculty, 75 graduate students and 220 undergraduates
involved in basic and applied studies of Earth Systems. The department
offers BA, BS, MS, and PhD degrees. Our principal concentrations include
weather prediction, air quality, air-sea interactions, storm and climate
modeling, hydrology, geochemistry, oceanography, surface processes and
regional geology.

The multi-disciplinary nature of our department lends itself to the study of
such problems as prediction of severe weather (e.g. hurricanes), coastal
erosion, pollution of surface and groundwater, and global climate change.
While basic research is always important, many of our research projects also
have direct application to current issues such as water quality/water
supply, seafood harvests, climate change, weather prediction and land use.

MEAS offers degree programs in marine sciences, geology and meteorology. Our
programs include many tracks in each of our program areas and thus provide
the opportunity for an education broader than bachelor's degrees in more
traditional departments.

Although our faculty are heavily involved in research, all courses in our
major are normally taught by regular faculty and all faculty are involved in
teaching. Involvement of undergraduates and graduate students in research is
a major emphasis. Typical class size for major courses is 20 students or
less.


Essential Job Duties

The Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences (MEAS) at North
Carolina State University (NC State) intends to fill a tenure-track faculty
position in environmental volcanology/petrology.

Desirable expertise includes research employing observation, experiments,
and modeling to investigate the origin of magmatism in different tectonic
settings, the role of volatiles in volcanic eruptions and short and/or
long-term climate change and geohazards. The anticipated start date is
August 16, 2020. Hiring will be at the Assistant Professor level.

Course offerings may include undergraduate or graduate classes in
mineralogy, hard rock petrology, numerical methods and modeling, geohazards,
geothermal energy or other classes commensurate with the candidate's
interest and expertise.

Opportunities exist for disciplinary and interdisciplinary interactions with
a wide range of scientists at NC State. Affiliated with the College of
Sciences, MEAS is one of the largest interdisciplinary geoscience
departments in the nation. Additional information about the department and
its facilities can be found on the web page: https://meas.sciences.ncsu.edu.
MEAS is one of six NC State departments with a presence at the NC State
Center for Marine Sciences and Technology (CMAST), a coastal and marine
science research facility located on Bogue Sound in Morehead City, NC
(http://www.cmast.ncsu.edu). MEAS faculty also participate in the recently
established Center for Geospatial Analytics (http://geospatial.ncsu.edu). In
addition, the Data Science Initiative (DSI), sponsored by the Office of
Research and Innovation at NC State, seeks to create a nationally recognized
hub of excellence in data science and analytics
(https://research.ncsu.edu/dsi).
