INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
The Dept. of Geology and Geophysics (GG) and the
Energy & Geoscience Institute (EGI) at the Univer-
sity of Utah invite applications for a position equally
split between GG and EGI, to begin Fall Semester
2017. The position in GG will be at the Associate
Professor or Professor level with the possibility of
tenure at appointment; the position at EGI will be at
the level of Senior Research Scientist. The successful
candidate will bring expertise in energy geosci-
ence, and will develop a strong, externally funded,
and internationally recognized research program
involving students and supported by industry and
government resources. We seek experts with skill
sets that can be broadly applied to current and future
energy systems, including hydrocarbon and renew-
able energies, as well as allied fields in carbon science
measurement and mitigation such as carbon capture
and storage or other geo-engineered solutions.
Candidates must have a completed Ph.D. at the time
of appointment and a strong record of research and
publication. The appointee will participate in collab-
orative, bridge-building efforts between GG and EGI
and will have offices at both locations. More infor-

degrees in Earth & Atmospheric Sciences. Find out
more about our department at http://eas.unl.edu/.
The UNSM fossil vertebrate collection contains
some 1.5 million specimens, over 90% of which are
mammals ranging in age from late Eocene to Holo-
cene, and provides outstanding opportunities for
research. For more about the museum see: http://

TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITION
INTEGRATED HYDROCLIMATE
MODELER, DEPT. OF GEOLOGICAL
SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA
The University of Alabama (UA) Dept. of Geolog-
ical Sciences invites applications for a tenure-
track faculty position in integrated hydroclimate
modeling, beginning August 2017. The position
will be filled at the Assistant Professor level. Candi- establish a successful research program that includes
dates must have a strong record of research and a
Ph.D. by the time of appointment in hydro-climate
systems science, water-atmospheric science, and/or
a closely related field, preferably with specialization
in integrated modeling of atmospheric processes
and hydrologic response, as they impact water
management, availability, distribution, and sustain-
ability. The candidate’s research would ideally aim
to understand and model the movement of water
between the atmosphere, land surface, soil, and/or
subsurface reservoirs, and how changes in future
climate affect water resources and/or environment
from regional to global scales. The successful candi-
date will be expected to establish a strong, externally-
funded research program and to attract high-quality
Ph.D. and M.S. graduate students. The candidate
will also be expected to teach introductory courses
related to their field and undergraduate and grad-
uate courses in hydroclimate sciences and modeling,
water resources, and water-atmosphere interactions,
advise graduate students, and contribute to the
Department’s research program in water resources
and environmental geology. Existing working rela-
tionships and collaboration with entities such as
NOAA, NASA, USGS, NCAR, DOE, and/or NSF is
seen as positive. Opportunities for research collabo-
ration also exist with the NOAA National Water
Center, the Environmental Institute, the Geological
Survey of Alabama, the Center for Sedimentary Basin
Studies, the Center for Freshwater Studies, and the
Water Policy and Law Institute, all located on The
University of Alabama campus. The Department
has a broad range of resources and existing facilities,
including modeling and computational resources,
field and laboratory equipment, and chemical and
stable isotope analytical facilities. Questions should
be directed to Dr. Geoff Tick (gtick@ua.edu), Chair
of the Integrated Hydroclimate Modeler Search
Committee. Applicants should submit a cover letter,
curriculum vitae, research statement, teaching state-
ment, and names and contact information for at
least three referees through the UA Jobs Website at:
https://facultyjobs.ua.edu/postings/39236. Review
of applications will begin December 1, 2016, and
continue until the position is filled. The Univer-
sity of Alabama is an equal opportunity/affirma-
tive action employer and actively seeks diversity in
its employees. Minority and women candidates are
especially encouraged to apply.
