The Water School at Florida Gulf Coast University
<https://www.fgcu.edu/thewaterschool/> seeks candidates for an Assistant
Professor of Marine Chemistry in the Department of Marine and Earth
Sciences. The Water School is an interdisciplinary enterprise that brings
together faculty from five colleges and schools representing 15 departments
to focus on the environmental, economic, and human dimensions of coastal
resilience, ecosystem integrity, health and wellbeing, and restoration and
remediation.

The Water School encourages nominations for and applications from qualified
individuals with research and teaching interests in marine chemistry.
Although we seek a broadly trained marine chemist, with applicants from all
sub-disciplines of marine geochemistry/chemical oceanography encouraged to
apply, we especially welcome applicants with expertise in carbonate
systems, ocean acidification, trace elements, and isotope geochemistry.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate courses in
environmental chemistry, marine chemistry, and biogeochemistry (as
appropriate) and will have the opportunity to develop new courses in their
area of expertise. They will have the opportunity to contribute to the
implementation of a new Ph.D. program in Coastal Watershed Science and
Policy (anticipated Fall 2025).

The successful candidate will also be expected to develop a strong,
externally funded research program, publish peer-reviewed literature, and
mentor undergraduate and graduate students in research. The successful
candidate should demonstrate the potential to contribute across disciplines
and promote the continued interdisciplinary growth of the academic and
research programs within The Water School. We seek applicants who will
expand the expertise of The Water School to address pressing issues in
coastal-marine biogeochemistry in the region such as ocean acidification,
climate change, and will integrate cutting-edge research with undergraduate
and graduate education.

FGCU places a high value on excellent instruction, the use of innovative
teaching methods, and a commitment to student success. Faculty are expected
to be excellent teachers who are responsive to changing professional needs,
be committed to innovative delivery of instruction resulting in improved
student learning, be committed to effective use of technology including
distance learning, produce peer-reviewed scholarship, and provide service
to the university and the local community. Primary teaching assignments may
be on the main campus and at The Water School's Vester Marine Field Station
located on Estero Bay
(https://www.fgcu.edu/thewaterschool/centers/vestermarine/).

With an enrollment of 16,000 students, FGCU has a main campus of 800 acres
with LEED-certified buildings and 400 acres of protected habitat. The
