1) Tenure-track Assistant Professor Environmental Systems Modeler – Boston College, Dept of Earth and Environmental Sciences
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Boston College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor with an expertise in quantitative/computational modeling of integrated earth systems: a geodynamic and/or hydrologic modeler who explores the physical, chemical, and/or biological interrelationships among diverse environmental and earth systems at the regional to global scale. The candidate should have broad research interests compatible with those of the current faculty in our Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and potentially with faculty in the Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science and/or Mathematics departments. Areas of research expertise could include (but are not limited to): modeling of the interactions of ice-sheet dynamics, sea-level rise and climate change; modeling the exchange of water, carbon, energy, or pollutants between the terrestrial hydrosphere, cryosphere, ocean, atmosphere, and lithosphere; and modeling crustal deformation and mantle flow as it influences surface topography and climate. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a vigorous externally funded research program integrated with excellence in teaching within the Earth and Environmental Science curriculum at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

2) Tenure-track faculty position in Sedimentary Geology – Penn State
http://www.geosc.psu.edu/
The Department of Geosciences at The Pennsylvania State University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in Sedimentary Geology, broadly defined. We seek a colleague working to understand the chemical, physical or biological evolution of modern or ancient sedimentary systems. We are especially interested in applicants who integrate a combination of field, laboratory, and modeling techniques, and who complement our existing departmental strengths in geobiology, geochemistry, and geophysics. Successful applicants will be expected to contribute to a diverse research and teaching community in the Department of Geosciences through the development of a vigorous, internationally recognized and externally funded research program, and through teaching courses in their discipline at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Department of Geosciences is part of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, and houses research programs spanning a broad spectrum of Earth Science disciplines (further information is available at: http://www.geosc.psu.edu). Applicants must have a Ph.D. in geosciences or a related field at the time of appointment. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement outlining research and teaching interests, and the names and contact information of three references. All materials must be submitted online. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2016 and continue until the position is filled. Appointment may begin as early as July 1, 2017. For further information or questions, please contact Mark Patzkowsky, Chair of the Search Committee at mep12@psu.edu.
