Research and Faculty Positions in Hydrology/ Hydrogeology (Print Ad, PDF)

The University of Texas at Austin, Jackson School of Geosciences is expanding its research and education program in Hydrology/Hydrogeology. We seek outstanding scientists who are interested in collaboration across disciplines and programs. We are interested in a wide range of research areas including but not limited to (1) coupling of flow, transport, geochemical, and geomechanical processes, (2) ecohydrology, hydrosphere-biosphere interactions, (3) regional to global surface and ground water resources, (4) pathogens, emerging contaminants, and their implications on public health (5) desalinization, and (6) resource sustainability within the context of global change. We are interested in candidates that bring capabilities ranging from ground-based measurement networks, environmental geophysics, remote sensing, to modeling. Opportunities for collaboration exist with expanding programs in climate, energy, geobiology, and surficial processes.

We expect to fill two positions: one for a research scientist in the Bureau of Economic Geology or the Institute for Geophysics, and another that could either be a second research scientist in one of these research units or a faculty member in the Department of Geological Sciences. Positions may be filled at the junior, mid career or senior level. The schedule of appointment is negotiable.

A Ph.D. is required by the time of appointment. To be considered, your application should note the area in which you are applying (this is the title of the specific ad you are responding to) and include a cover letter, CV, list of publications, list of references, statements of research and/or teaching interests, to:
