JUNIOR LEVEL FACULTY POSITION
SEDIMENTARY BASIN ANALYSIS
DEPARTMENT OF MARINE, EARTH,
AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES
NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
The Department 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 relation-
ship of basin evolution to mantle processes, linkages
of stratigraphy to landscape evolution as a function
of tectonics, climate, and sea-level change, the predic-
tion 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
candidate must demonstrate strong potential for
outstanding accomplishments in research, research
supervision, and teaching. The successful applicant
will be expected to teach an undergraduate-level
course in stratigraphy, as well as other undergrad-
uate and graduate classes commensurate with the
candidate’s interest and expertise. An interest in
participating in the Department’s capstone under-
graduate geology field course also is desirable. MEAS
places a high value on excellent instruction and the
use of innovative teaching methods.
Affiliated with the College of Sciences at NC State,
MEAS is one of the largest interdisciplinary geosci-
ence departments in the nation. Opportunities exist
for disciplinary and interdisciplinary interactions
with more than 30 marine, earth, and atmospheric
scientists. Additional information about the depart-
ment and its facilities can be found on the web page:
http://www.meas.ncsu.edu.
Review of applications will begin on 15 November
2015; the position will remain open until filled.
Applications, including cover letters, curriculum
information for three references must be submitted
online at https://jobs.ncsu.edu/. Please search for
