*Geoscience and Environmental Sustainability*
The Department of Geology and Planetary Science
(http://www.geology.pitt.edu) at the University of Pittsburgh invites
applications for a tenure-track position at the assistant professor
level to expand and enhance our current research expertise in Geoscience
and Environmental Sustainability.We seek an individual working on
global-scale issues that tie geoscience research to quantitative
sustainability themes.Research directions that integrate well with
current departmental expertise include, but are not limited to, global
geospatial analysis, remote sensing of atmospheric composition and
natural disasters, climate change and glacial processes, and the
relationship between hydrology, geomorphology, (bio)geochemistry in
coupled natural-human systems.
We are particularly interested in individuals that integrate
quantitative field measurements with emerging research tools such as
climate change/geohazard related modeling using orbital/airborne LiDAR
and/or thermal IR, landscape evolution modeling, and
modeling/measurements of regional to global-scale atmospheric fluxes.It
is expected that this hire will strengthen our existing
interdisciplinary collaborations with local and regional institutions
including the Mascaro Center for Sustainability and Innovation at the
University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, the DOE-National
Energy and Technology Laboratory, and the NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop an active,
externally funded research program, including the supervision of M.S.
and Ph.D. students and undergraduate research projects.Teaching duties
include undergraduate and graduate courses in the candidate's area of
expertise.
Applicants should email the following materials to the Environmental
Sustainability Search Committee atgeols...@pitt.edu
<mailto:geols...@pitt.edu>1) a CV (including past and current grant
support), 2) statements of research and teaching interests, 3) copies of
three relevant publications, and 4) names and contact information of
four references.Questions regarding the position should be directed to
Mark Abbott at mabbo...@pitt.edu <mailto:mabbo...@pitt.edu>, 412-624-8783.
Review of applicants will begin on January 1, 2014 and proceed until the
position is filled.A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment, and
the position begins in the fall term of 2014, subject to budgetary approval.
The University of Pittsburgh is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
employer.Applications from women and members of minority groups are
especially encouraged.
