Full Job Description

The University of Wyoming invites diverse applicants to consider our employment opportunities. We are also especially interested in candidates who have experience working with diverse populations and/or diverse initiatives .

JOB TITLE:

Assistant Professor in Organic Geochemistry

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The University of Wyoming invites applications for a tenure-track, Assistant Professor in Organic Geochemistry in the Department of Geology & Geophysics and the interdepartmental Program in Ecology and Evolution. The successful candidate is expected to build a strong extramurally funded research program using organic geochemistry approaches to investigate Earth systems. We seek applicants who complement existing research strengths at the University and address questions spanning broad scales - e.g., from organisms, molecules, and minerals to landscapes and global dynamics.

This search is partially supported by a 5-year, $20 million NSF EPSCoR RII Track-1 grant to the University. The project focuses on examining microbial life and its ecological consequences and has enabled the university to hire other faculty with related interests. The successful candidate will benefit from the project's scientific outcomes and infrastructure, such as new ICP-MS and Orbitrap LC-MS instruments, and will contribute to the project's institutional capacity building in the candidate's area of expertise.
