Assistant or Associate Professor - Carbonate Geology/Geobiology
The University of Houston Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences invites applications for a tenure-track position in the general field of sedimentary geology. Hiring will be at the assistant or associate professor level. Experience and qualifications will be used to determine the appropriate title of assistant or associate professor.
We are particularly interested in researchers with a focus on the areas of paleoclimate, paleoceanography, paleogeography, biogeochemistry, carbon cycles and proxies, the role of tectonics in building the sedimentary record, source to sink processes, and coastal evolution. The research of a successful applicant may concentrate on either chemical or clastic sedimentary rocks and may use data from outcrops, cores, modern environments, the subsurface, or experimental or modeling
studies. Integration of geophysical data, petrographic observations, and facies analysis is particularly encouraged.
The successful candidate will be expected to build active collaborations within and outside the university, to develop internationally recognized, externally funded research programs, to teach graduate and undergraduate level courses that bridge theory and practical applications in the geosciences, and to use their research to enhance experiential learning at UH.
