Faculty Position in Aquatic Science The Center for Environmental Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University (www.vcu.edu/cesweb) invites applications for an aquatic scientist whose research integrates fieldwork, modeling, and/or geospatial analysis (e.g. GIS, remote sensing) to understand ecological and environmental processes of large river systems across broad spatial scales. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an active, externally funded research program focused on rivers, direct graduate students through the doctoral level, complement our existing strengths in areas such as restoration ecology, biogeochemistry, and river food web analysis, and contribute to the mission of VCUs Rice Center (www.vcu.edu/rice). Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate and graduate courses in the Environmental Studies curriculum. This is a nine-month, tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor; exceptional candidates at senior levels are also encouraged to apply. Postdoctoral experience is expected and demonstrated excellence in scholarship is required. Candidates must have demonstrated experience working in and fostering a diverse faculty, staff, and student environment or commitment to do so as a faculty member at VCU. Competitive start-up funds are available.
