[O'Brien, Travis Allen]

The Indiana University Bloomington Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences<https://earth.indiana.edu/index.html> invites applications for one or more tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor positions to begin in fall of 2023. We welcome applications that complement our research strengths in climate change, critical zone science, or evolving crust, especially in the areas of Earth materials, hydrology, paleoclimate, or biogeochemistry.  Specific subdisciplines could include but are not limited to mineralogy/petrology, clay mineralogy, hydrogeology, crustal fluids, isotopic proxies of climate change, soils, or nutrient cycling. Candidates who bridge these and other areas of Earth Sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.  Ph.D. is required at time of appointment.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values of our department<https://earth.indiana.edu/about/diversity.html> and of the College of Arts & Sciences<https://college.indiana.edu/>, and we are especially interested in candidates who are similarly committed to nurturing diversity and inclusion, sustaining a climate of mutual respect, and fostering a collaborative and supportive academic environment wherein everyone is empowered to succeed.
Faculty in the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) have access to laboratory facilities<https://earth.indiana.edu/research/research-labs-and-centers/index.html> including the Stable Isotope Research Facility<https://earth.indiana.edu/research/research-labs-and-centers/sirf-lab/index.html>, Metal Isotopes Lab<https://metals.earth.indiana.edu/>, high resolution SEM, and clay mineralogy, petrology, and paleontology research collections—with opportunities for these facilities to grow to fit the needs of incoming faculty.

Our department has a long history of teaching and research at the Judson Mead Geologic Field Station<https://iugfs.indiana.edu/about/index.html> training early career geoscientists in field research.
IU is committed to helping its faculty successfully grow their careers.  Incoming faculty have access to a year-long series of orientation programs<https://vpfaa.indiana.edu/faculty-resources/new-faculty-orientation.html>.  All faculty at IU are encouraged to better support student success by engaging with the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning<https://citl.indiana.edu/>.  And all faculty have access to Proposal Development Services<https://research.iu.edu/funding-proposals/proposals/index.html>, which is staffed by Ph.D. researchers with track records of success in obtaining external funding, for in-depth support in the proposal writing process.
