—————————————————-
(1) Faculty Position in Petrology, Boston College
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Boston College invites applications for a tenure-track position in the field of Petrology to start in Fall 2014. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an externally funded research program integrated with excellence in teaching within the geological sciences and environmental geoscience curriculum at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Teaching responsibilities will include Mineralogy, Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology, and other courses in the candidate’s area of research expertise.  The successful candidate should have a commitment to integrate with existing department research expertise in structural geology, sedimentary geology, igneous and metamorphic terrane analysis, and geochronology/geochemistry.  Candidates with a strong field emphasis in research and teaching are particularly desired. This is an open-rank position, and applications at all levels are invited. The Department is equipped with a range of modern research instrumentation listed on our websitehttp://www.bc.edu/content/bc/schools/cas/geo/instrumentation-and-facilities.html

Information on the Department, its faculty and research strengths can be viewed on the Department’s web page at http://www.bc.edu/eesciences.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, statements of teaching and research interests, and the names and contact information for at least three references online at https://secure.interfolio.com/apply/21996. Review of applications will begin on November 11, 2013. Department faculty will be available at the GSA and AGU fall meetings to meet with applicants. Boston College is an academic community whose doors are open to all students and employees without regard to race, religion, age, sex, marital or parental status, national origin, veteran status, or handicap.

(2) Two Assistant Professor Positions, Geochemistry & Hydrogeology/Geofluids, Oklahoma State University
The Boone Pickens School of Geology at Oklahoma State University seeks two tenure track assistant professors: one in sedimentary geochemistry and another in hydrogeology/geofluids.  These positions will be effective August 2014 contingent on funding.  The applicant should have a Ph.D. degree in geosciences or a related field at the time of appointment.For the sedimentary geochemistry position, we are seeking candidates with strengths in one or more of the following areas: organic geochemistry, low temperature metals geochemistry, biomarkers as applied to petroleum systems, environmental systems, and paleo/climate change.

For the hydrogeology/geofluids position, we are seeking candidates with strengths in one or more of the following: simulation of subsurface flow and solute transport, variable-density or multiphase fluid modeling, reactive transport modeling in porous/fractured media, and hydrogeophysics as applied to sedimentary basins, biogeophysics, petroleum, hydrodynamic systems, and environmental change.

The successful candidates will complement School strengths in stable isotope geochemistry, petroleum geology (conventional and unconventional), paleoenvironment, biogeochemistry and biogeophysics. We seek candidates who will develop vigorous and innovative research programs and who will contribute to School teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The candidates will be expected to supervise M.S. and Ph.D. students and develop courses in their areas of expertise.

The successful candidates will join a faculty of fourteen geoscientists in a department that has close ties to the petroleum and water resource industries.  The School’s teaching and research facilities include state of the art geochemistry laboratory facilities and equipment, geophysical field and laboratory equipment and software, the Devon Visualization Laboratory, and a wide range of petrographic and hydrogeological instrumentation and field equipment.  The School operates a field camp facility near Cañon City, Colorado.
Candidates should submit an application package that includes a cover letter; curriculum vitae; reprints of three published papers; contact information for three referees; and separate statements of research and teaching vision. Candidates should include in their research vision a brief description of how their research will interface with that of existing faculty. All application materials should be submitted to: Assistant Professor Search, Boone Pickens School of Geology, 105 Noble Research Center, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74078-3031.  Screening of candidates will begin on November 15, 2013 and continue until the position is filled.  More information about the Boone Pickens School of Geology can be found on the web at http://geology.okstate.edu.  Inquiries may be directed to Dr. Todd Halihan (todd.halihan at okstate.edu) or Dr. Jay Gregg (jay.gregg at okstate.edu).  Committed to health and safety, Oklahoma State University maintains a tobacco-free work environment.  Oklahoma State University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity/E-Verify employer committed to diversity.
(3) Tenure-track Assistant Professor, Earth Systems History, Oregon State University
The College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) at Oregon State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Earth Systems History.This faculty member conducts research and teach in the area of sedimentary geology, focusing on using pre-Quaternary sedimentary records as a basis for investigation of solid Earth, oceanic, atmospheric, and surficial processes and interactions. CEOAS seeks an individual that expands and complements one or more the areas of research strengths in the College (http://ceoas.oregonstate.edu/research/).

Potential areas of expertise include (but are not limited to): paleoclimatology, past ocean and atmospheric chemistry and circulation, and tectonic and/or geodynamic influences on earth surface processes. The successful applicant will employ a range of approaches towards quantitative reconstructions of solid earth, Earth surface, atmospheric, and/or ocean history and evolution. Research should include a substantial field component.
