Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Geology, Micro-
biology, or a closely related discipline with a strong
emphasis on microbial mediation of biogeochem-
ical and hydrological processes within the vadose
and shallow saturated zones. Utilization of unique
analytical techniques or conceptual modeling
coupled with field-based measurements is desired.
Research areas may range in scope from the Critical
Zone to global biogeochemistry with relevance to
hydrologic cycles. Regardless of research focus area,
enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research and culti-
vation of new collaborations is essential to this posi-
tion. The successful candidate may teach courses in
geomicrobiology, soil hydrology, or biogeochem-
istry, establish and participate in externally-funded
research, and successfully mentor M.S. and Ph.D.
candidates to graduation. The Department currently
