(1) Tenure-track Faculty Position in Tectonics
The Department of Earth & Environment at Boston University invites applications for an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in Tectonics, beginning in Fall 2014 (subject to budgetary approval). We seek applicants whose research encompasses broad field-based investigations aimed at understanding the evolution and dynamics of the continental lithosphere at regional to global scale. We especially welcome applicants whose research emphasizes interactions between tectonics and other aspects of the evolving Earth system such as Earth history, mantle dynamics, climate & sea level change, landscape evolution, natural resources, hazards, and more. Candidates’ research might span such disciplines as structural geology, geochemistry, geo/thermochronology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, tectonic-geomorphology, and paleomagnetism.
The successful applicant will be expected to supervise graduate research in M.A. and Ph.D. programs, maintain an externally funded research program, and teach at all levels in the Earth & Environment curriculum. We seek an applicant whose research complements Departmental expertise in solid Earth geosciences and integrates well with other Departmental themes. Interaction is encouraged with other departments including Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, and the B.U. Marine Program. For more information about the Department, see http://www.bu.edu/earth. A Ph.D. at the time of appointment is required. Please apply online at https://academicjobsonline.org, including a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, and the names and addresses of at least three references. Should you have questions, feel free to contact Ethan Baxter, Search Committee Chair, Department of Earth & Environment, Boston University, 685 Commonwealth Ave., Boston MA 02215 USA; email: earth@bu.edu. Review of applications will begin on Dec 1, 2013. Women and underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. Boston University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.

(2) Faculty position in Solid Earth Processes, University of Rochester
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Rochester will be hiring a tenure-track faculty in Solid Earth Processes, in disciplines that include, but are not limited to Petrology and/or Geochemistry. The rank of the position is open, with a start date of July 1, 2014. We are interested in a dynamic educator and researcher who uses geochemical and/or computational approaches in their research and can establish externally funded, internationally recognized research programs. Preference will be given to applicants who can build cross-disciplinary programs involving undergraduate and graduate students that complement the University of Rochester’s strengths in tectonics, Earth and planetary evolution, geophysics, geochemistry, and climate science (see http://www.ees.rochester.edu for more information about programs in the Department). We seek applicants who can teach Petrology. The University of Rochester is a highly ranked research university, and Rochester’s cultural, educational, and recreational assets consistently place the city in the top 10 places to live within the U.S. Applicants should submit materials via: https://www.rochester.edu/fort/ees/. Materials include a curriculum vitae, select reprints, statements of research and teaching goals, and the names and contact information of four references. The review of applications will begin December 15, 2013 and will continue until the position is filled. The University of Rochester has a strong commitment to principles of diversity and, in that spirit, actively encourages applications from groups underrepresented in higher education.

(3) Tenure-track Assistant Professor of Geophysics, New Mexico Tech
The Department of Earth and Environmental Science of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the broad area of geophysics, with an anticipated start date in August 2014. We seek an innovative geophysicist whose research addresses significant geophysical or geological questions. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in seismology; we will also consider outstanding candidates with other geophysical expertise.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Earth Sciences or a related field at the time of appointment, as well as a significant record of research productivity. The successful candidate is expected to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program supporting M.S. and Ph.D. students, teach two to three courses per year (graduate and/or undergraduate), advise students, and perform service to the department, institute, state, national, and international Earth Science communities.
New Mexico Tech (NMT), located in the central Rio Grande valley community of Socorro, specializes in science and engineering education and research, and has a present enrollment of approximately 2000 undergraduate and graduate students. The Earth and Environmental Science Department (EES; www.ees.nmt.edu) has an integrated undergraduate program in Earth Science and Environmental Science and M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Geophysics, Geology/Geochemistry, and Hydrology. The Department consists of 18 faculty and approximately 120 undergraduate and graduate students. EES and NMT also host the on-campus IRIS PASSCAL Instrument Center and EarthScope USArray Array Operations Facility (www.passcal.nmt.edu), which provide logistical, instrumentation, and data support for seismological and associated research. Additional on-campus geoscience expertise includes the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (geoinfo.nmt.edu), and Petroleum Recovery Research Center (baervan.nmt.edu). New Mexico Tech additionally has equipment and facilities to support energy-related research and teaching, including computational resources, Landmark software, and a trailer-mounted IVI vibroseis system. For additional information see www.nmt.edu or contact search committee chair Glenn Spinelli (spinelli@nmt.edu).
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a description of research and teaching interests and goals, and the contact information of three references to: Geophysics Search, New Mexico Tech, Human Resources Department, 801 Leroy Place, Socorro, New Mexico 87801. Official transcripts of pre-and post-graduate studies will be required if selected to interview. For full consideration, applications should be received by November 1, 2013 (email applications cannot be accepted). New Mexico Tech is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
