 *The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences in the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)
invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor who pursues
fundamental research in the hydrological and/or climate sciences.*  The
applicant’s research must be relevant to Earth systems at a global scale,
and may also address linkages to regional processes including, but not
limited to, those involving the Great Lakes, urban environments, surface
waters, and landscape evolution. The successful candidate is expected to
establish an innovative and productive program of scientific research,
using more than one approach (e.g., observational, modeling, experimental),
that complements department strengths in climate science and
biogeochemistry. The candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate
courses in core topics in the earth sciences and graduate courses in their
area of specialty, advise graduate students (MS and PhD), and mentor
undergraduate students in research projects.  Applicants must have a PhD in
Earth Sciences or a related field, and a record of research
accomplishments; postdoctoral experience is preferred

The Department (https://eaes.uic.edu/) has extensive laboratory and
computing facilities, hosts a diverse and growing undergraduate and
graduate student body, and has expanding collaborations with other campus
units including chemistry, health sciences, and biological sciences. UIC is
one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse universities in the
country and the Department is committed to closing the diversity gap in the
earth sciences by fully supporting underrepresented students, faculty, and
staff.  UIC is a public R1 institution and the largest institution of
higher education in the Chicago area with over 33,000 undergraduate,
graduate, and professional students.  To apply, please complete the online

fullest consideration, please apply by October 25, 2021.* Final authorization
of the position is subject to availability of funding.

The University of Illinois at Chicago resides on the traditional
Territories of the Three Fire Peoples - the Ojibwe, Odawa and Bodewadmi,
purchased after two-and-a-half years of open warfare, decades of
violent encroachment, and the defeat of a pan-Indian movement to keep
settlers out of the Great Lakes region at the Treaty of Chicago in 1821,
receiving their final payment before moving westward in 1835. The area was
also a site of trade, gathering, and healing for more than a dozen other
Native tribes.
