<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">C.W. Matthews Endowed Chair.</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> Position No. 0050601. The Roy M. Huffington Department of Earth Sciences at Southern Methodist University invites applications to a
fully endowed professorship named in honor of C.W. Matthews to be filled at the Associate or Full Professor level. We are seeking applicants who conduct innovative, interdisciplinary and quantitative research programs across all fields of earth sciences and
are especially interested in candidates working in emerging areas across disciplinary boundaries whose expertise contributes to department strengths. The successful applicant will have a demonstrated ability to maintain an outstanding, internationally recognized,
externally-funded research program; to teach, lead, and collaborate effectively with a diverse student body of graduates and undergraduates; and to supervise professional staff. The successful candidate will join a dynamic department with internationally recognized
faculty that conduct frontier research using quantitative, measurement-based approaches focused on the evolution of earth's fluid envelope and lithosphere, paleo- and modern climate, biogeochemical systems including astrobiology, and earth hazards. We are
a community geared towards enabling our colleagues to succeed and lead in their individual fields. We welcome women, underrepresented scholars, veterans, and persons with disabilities to apply. Endowments to the department support strategic faculty lines,
student research and laboratory facilities. The Department features Stable Isotope and X-ray Analytical laboratories, Remote Sensing and Geophysical facilities and the Shuler Museum of Paleontology, supported by fully-funded technical staff positions. Faculty
also participate in unique interdisciplinary research communities, including research clusters in Earth Hazards and National Security, Energy and Environmental Systems, and Data Science. The Matthews Chair will work with other researchers to review significant
research, ongoing or planned, at SMU that addresses hazard and/or national security challenges with the goal of developing new and innovative avenues of research. More information on the research clusters can be found at

will include a cover letter, CV, statements on research and teaching, and contact information for three letters of recommendation. Please submit application materials via Interfolio at
