invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position
in *hydrology-surface
processes*. The position starts August 2023. The successful candidate will
hold a Ph.D., have a strong background in the earth sciences, and be able
to interface well with faculty working at the nexus of environmental and
earth system science research. Specific research interests are open and may
include any of a broad range of hydrology-surface processes studies such as
fluvial processes, watershed hydrology, process geomorphology, critical
zone science, coastal processes, and other topics relating to the
interaction of climate change with the Earth’s surface. Applicants using
laboratory, field, or computational methods are welcome.

Responsibilities will include developing a strong, externally funded
research program, advising Ph.D. and M.S. students; teaching undergraduate
courses related to hydrology and/or surface processes, graduate courses in
their specialty, and an introductory course in physical or environmental
earth sciences.

The Department of Earth Sciences has 10 full-time faculty members, 55
undergraduates and 30 graduate students. Current faculty research includes
the areas of paleoceanography, biogeochemistry, sedimentary geology,
paleontology, critical zone science, environmental remote sensing,
water-mineral surface interactions, flow and transport in porous media, and
tectonics and landform development. The successful applicant will be able
to contribute to and benefit from Kent State’s Environmental Science and
Design Research Initiative (ESDRI), which includes recent hires in Earth
Sciences, Geography, and Biological Sciences. ESDRI represents a
university- wide investment in research and innovation within the
geological, biological, human, and social systems that promote well-being,
sustain diversity of life on Earth, and impact availability of
environmental resources. ESDRI participants include faculty from nine
colleges, providing excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary
collaboration.

The department houses an array of analytical instruments including a
Malvern Mastersizer 2000 and Horiba Camsizer, FTIR, iCAP PRO XP ICP-OES,
Hitachi environmental SEM with EDAX, bbe+ Fluoroprobe multichannel
fluorometer, Energy Dispersive XRF spectrometer, Costech Elemental
Analyzer, X-ray diffractometer, Picarro Water Isotope and Carbon Isotope
Analyzers, UV-Visible spectrophotometer and VNIR spectroradiometers,
Shimadzu TOC-L analyzer, Bartington MS2 susceptibility meters, and high
performance computers.

Kent State University, an R1 doctoral university, is dedicated to faculty
and student success. It has been named as a “Great College to Work For” by
the Chronicle of Higher Education 11 times, and was one of only 6 schools
nationwide to receive the 2018 Healthy Campus Award. Nestled in the
Cuyahoga River Valley in NE Ohio, Kent State is less than 50 miles from
Cleveland, 20 miles from Akron, and 10 miles from the Cuyahoga Valley
National Park.

Applicants should upload their current CV, statements of research and
teaching interests, and contact information for three references to
http://jobs.kent.edu/(999288) <http://jobs.kent.edu/(XXX)>. For more
information please contact the Chair of the search committee at
escisearch2 at kent.edu. Review of applications will begin November 1, 2022
