TEXAS, COLLEGE STATION 77843-3147. Texas A&M University. The Department of Geography (http://geog.tamu.edu) and the College of Geosciences at Texas A&M University (http://geosciences.tamu.edu) invite applications for a tenure-track position specializing in Climate Change Ecology or Quaternary Biogeography to begin in September 2007 or January 2008. It is anticipated that this appointment will be made at the rank of Assistant Professor. This position is part of eleven planned hires in the Ocean Drilling and Sustainable Earth Science (ODASES) program (http://odases.tamu.edu), which is an interdisciplinary, multi-college research and education program designed to maximize participation in the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) (http://www.iodp.org). The successful candidate will have a track record of research, or will be able to develop research, with ODP/IODP. Outstanding opportunities exist for collaboration with other departments, research units, and interdisciplinary initiatives within the College of Geosciences (e.g., the departments of Atmospheric Sciences, Oceanography, and Geology and Geophysics, the Sustainable Coastal Margins Program). The ODASES positions will complement the Vision 2020 Faculty Investment Plan to hire 20 tenure-track faculty in the College of Geosciences by 2008 in three target areas: (i) climate change; (ii) oceans, atmospheres and human health; and (iii) environmental and hydrological geosciences. Texas A&M University offers a highly interactive research environment, a strong modern infrastructure, and competitive startup packages.
Candidates should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and names and addresses (including e-mail addresses) of three referees to Dr. David Cairns ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue until the position is filled.
