The Department of Earth, Marine and Environmental Sciences (EMES) at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill seeks to hire a tenure-track faculty member at the assistant professor level who explores questions related to the production, transport, and deposition of Earth materials and consequent landscape changes at time scales ranging from seconds to millennia. We encourage researchers focused on any aspects of fluvial, coastal and/or glacial processes including (a) the origin and fate of sediment eroded from the continents and transported to the coasts; (b) morphological and sedimentological responses to tectonics, isostacy, and climate change; and/or (c) impacts and records of extreme events and anthropogenic climate change. Candidates who solve problems with field, laboratory, and/or modeling studies are particularly encouraged to apply. Individuals in this position are expected to develop and maintain a vital, externally funded research program and will contribute to the departmental mission of training the next generation of scholars in societally relevant earth science problems. The candidate will be expected to teach introductory undergraduate classes that support our growing undergraduate degree programs. Applicants should have a doctoral degree in geosciences, or a related field, at the time of appointment. The department supports a coastal marine lab, the Institute of Marine Sciences (https://emes.unc.edu/institute-of-marine-sciences) that provides direct access to coastal environments and jointly supports the UNC Fluids Lab (https://amath.unc.edu/research/fluid-mechanics/fluids-lab). Application review will begin on November 15th, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled.
