POSITIONS: GLOBAL CHANGE
PROCESSES/GEOPHYSICS
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
The Dept. of Earth and Environmental Sciences at
Michigan State University (MSU) is searching for
two tenure-stream Assistant Professors starting Fall
2017. Exceptional candidates at Associate or Full
Professor level will also be considered. Both posi-
tions include an enhanced level of flexible research
funding from endowment resources.
Global Change Processes: We seek a global change
