Assistant or Associate Professor in Coastal Resiliency - (FAC003552)
Organization: H0109 Earth & Atmospheric Sciences

 

The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at the University of Houston (UH) invites applications for a full-time Presidential Frontier Faculty tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor in the broad field of coastal resiliency. The Presidential Frontier Faculty program is a university-wide integrated interdisciplinary hiring campaign and encompasses hiring a large cohort of faculty to work on health, energy, sustainability, and security. EAS seeks dynamic researchers and educators who can establish externally funded research programs and engage students in their research.


Specific research interests are open, but preference will be given to applicants who complement departmental faculty strengths, both in EAS and across UH. We seek candidates with degrees in geology, geophysics, or other earth science specialties and with expertise in regional sea-level predictions, coastal natural hazards, storm surge modeling, coastal erosion and sediment accretion, aeolian dunes, coastal biogeochemistry, ecohydrology, landscape evolution, marsh and wetland dynamics, or other specialties relevant to understanding shorelines in a changing world. Successful candidates may have a research approach using data from outcrops, cores, modern environments, the subsurface, or experimental and/or modeling studies.

Successful candidates are expected to build active collaborations within and outside the university, to provide synergy with existing research at UH, to develop externally funded research programs that are internationally recognized, to teach graduate and undergraduate level courses, and to use their research to enhance experiential learning at UH.

Applications received by December 1, 2024 will receive full consideration. Interested candidates should submit: 1) a statement of teaching interests, 2) a statement of research interests, 3) a curriculum vitae, and 4) a list of at least 3 referees with contact information.
