[ES_JOBS_NET] Assistant Professor in Sedimentary Processes - Boston College Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

[Hilary Palevsky]

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Boston College
invites applications for Earth systems scientists in the field of
Sedimentary Processes. This is a tenure-track position expected to be made
at the Assistant Professor level. The successful candidate will combine a
vigorous, externally funded research program with excellence in teaching
and a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. More information
about the position and the department can be found at
https://www.bc.edu/eesciences.

We seek a geoscientist whose research in sedimentary processes highlights
connections among surficial processes, the hydrosphere, biosphere,
atmosphere, and/or lithosphere. Broad research areas of interest include,
but are not limited to, sediment transport in coastal and river systems, as
influenced by anthropogenic and geologic processes; sedimentary basin
evolution; human-climate-environment interactions; sea-level rise and
related human displacement and justice issues; and critical transitions in
sedimentary processes throughout Earth history. We are particularly
interested in individuals whose research uses field investigation,
innovative computational, geophysical, geochemical, geochronological
methods, and/or other analytical techniques. We particularly encourage
applicants whose expertise may lead to collaborations with scholars from
our department and across the university, including interdisciplinary
research within the new Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and
Society (https://www.bc.edu/schiller).

The successful candidate will teach a mix of courses in the field of
sedimentary processes, geared to majors in geological sciences and
environmental geoscience, non-majors, and M.S. and Ph.D. students.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are core values of our
department. Our excellence can only be fully realized by faculty, students,
and staff who share our commitment to these values. Successful candidates
for our faculty positions will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to
advancing equity and inclusion in their research, teaching and service work.
