Posted by CReSIS on Wed Oct 3 09:24:48 2007 Glaciology/University of Kansas
The Department of Geology and the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) at the University of Kansas seek applications for an academic year, tenure-track faculty position in the field of glaciology. We seek an outstanding colleague whose research addresses fundamental problems related to glaciology and the motion of glacial ice, who will participate in the CReSIS research mission, and who will complement existing programs in behavior of ice sheets, rates of geological processes, and climate change. Individuals with expertise in numerical modeling of ice sheets, remote sensing of ice sheets, landscape evolution, cosmogenic nuclide dating, and ocean-ice-atmosphere modeling are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to establish an externally funded research program, direct graduate students, and participate in teaching graduate and undergraduate students, including courses in glaciology. Refer to http://www.geo.ku.edu and links for additional information about the department and the University of Kansas. This faculty position will directly support the mission of CReSIS – to understand and predict the role of polar ice sheets in sea-level change. CReSIS is an NSF-funded Science and Technology Center established in 2005 – see http://www.cresis.ku.edu for additional description of that effort. The academic affiliation is expected to be with the Department of Geology, but appointment in a different academic department would be possible. Appointment is expected to begin August 18, 2008.
Applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. or terminal degree in geology or a related field by the start date of the appointment. For full position announcement, see: http://www2.ku.edu/~clas/employment/ or http://www.geo.ku.edu. A letter of application outlining research and teaching interests, a complete curriculum vita, and names and contact information of at least three persons, who can be contacted for letters of reference, should be sent to Doug Walker, Department of Geology, 1475 Jayhawk Blvd., 120 Lindley Hall, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045-2124 (tel. 785-864-2735, fax 785-864-5276, e-mail: jdwalker@ku.edu). Initial review of completed applications will begin on January 15, 2008, and will continue until the position has been filled. EO/AA employer.
