<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Light",sans-serif">The Department of Earth Sciences in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment at the University of Delaware (UD) invites applications for a 9-month, tenure-track faculty position in
Earth Surface Processes beginning in fall 2025 at the rank of Assistant Professor. We are seeking exceptional candidates who will develop a strong externally funded research program, teach across the introductory to graduate curriculum, mentor graduate students,
and contribute to a supportive and interdisciplinary culture within the Department, the College, and the University. Candidates will be considered from any specialization within surface processes/geomorphology; those focusing on coastal processes, natural
hazards, or the cryosphere, and who use tools such as numerical modeling, remote sensing, and big data science are especially encouraged to apply. A Ph.D. in earth sciences or a related field is required. Successful candidates are expected to have demonstrated
excellence in research, commensurate with career stage, and have a dedicated interest in high quality teaching. All faculty are expected to contribute to a welcoming campus environment that embraces diversity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Light",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Light",sans-serif">We seek a candidate whose research is attentive to both high-impact applications and cutting-edge technology and can build on existing strengths in the Department of Earth Sciences that
include geochemistry, microbiology, hydrology, seismology, and geophysics. The successful candidate will have opportunities to collaborate across the university with faculty in units such as the Department of Geography and Spatial Sciences, the School of Marine
Science and Policy, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, and the Department of Applied Economics and Statistics. Interdisciplinary efforts may include interactions with the Delaware Environmental
Institute, the Data Science Institute, the Disaster Research Center, the Gerard Mangone Climate Change Science and Policy Hub, and the Delaware Geological Survey.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family:"Aptos Light",sans-serif">General Information</span></i></b><span style="font-family:"Aptos Light",sans-serif">: A research-intensive, technologically-advanced university with global impact, UD traces its
roots back to 1743. Today, it is a Carnegie R1 Doctoral University (highest research activity), with external funding exceeding $200 million annually. State-assisted, yet privately governed, UD is a Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Space Grant institution. This
position has the potential to benefit from new campus-wide investments such as the Data Science Initiative, a recent cluster hire in Coastal Water Security, and state-of-the-art facilities that provide access to research equipment and training and technical
support to meet comprehensive research needs in an interdisciplinary environment. The University’s leadership is committed to greater collaboration among colleges and across disciplines, and recognizes that UD, as a place of intellectual transformation and
enlightenment, must be a source for positive change, stimulating faculty, staff, students, alumni and others to make a difference in society. Recognized by the Chronicle of Higher Education as one of America's best universities to work for, the University
of Delaware is located in scenic Newark, Delaware, within 2 hours of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
