ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES
NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
The Dept. of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric
Sciences (MEAS) at North Carolina State Univer-
sity (NC State) intends to fill a junior (Assistant /
Associate Professor) tenure-track faculty position
in sedimentary basin analysis. Possible research
areas include, but are not limited to, the rela-
tionship of basin evolution to mantle processes,
linkages of stratigraphy to landscape evolution
as a function of tectonics, climate, and sea-level
change, the prediction of sub-surface porosity
and permeability to model the movement of water
and hydrocarbons, and the use of stratigraphy in
paleo-environmental and paleo-biological studies.
The starting date for this position is 15 August
2016. Candidates that combine surface and/or
subsurface observations with numerical simula-
tions, analogue models, or laboratory experiments
to investigate the geologic history of sedimentary
basins are preferred, and applicants should have a
strong interest in interdisciplinary collaborations
across and beyond the geosciences.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree in the
geosciences or a related field. Postdoctoral experi-
ence is preferred, but not required. The successful
