DIRECTOR, SUBSURFACE ENERGY
RESOURCE CENTER
SCHOOL OF EARTH SCIENCES
OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
Description: The Ohio State University invites
applications for the position of Director of the
Subsurface Energy Resource Center (SERC) at
the rank of full professor with tenure. We seek a
visionary leader for SERC who will foster its mission
to facilitate research, education, and outreach
involving academia, industry, and numerous
stakeholders to understand and enable efficient,
economic, and socially responsible use of energy
resources with a reduced environmental footprint.
SERC was established at The Ohio State University
in 2011 in response to recent technical advances
that are leading to the rapid expansion of horizontal
drilling operations for hydrocarbon-bearing shale in
eastern Ohio. As one of the nation’s largest research
universities and the state’s land-grant institution,
Ohio State has a wealth of expertise to contribute to
subsurface resource development and its associated
environmental issues, as well as a responsibility to
serve as a resource for policy makers. Shale develop-
ment has been the near-term primary focus of SERC,
but the scope of SERC and the Director’s responsi-
bilities encompass the full spectrum of subsurface
energy resources. This position is partially funded by
Ohio State’s Discovery Themes, a significant invest-
ment in key thematic areas in which the university
can build on its culture of academic collaboration to
make a global impact.
Qualifications: We seek a national and/or inter-
national expert who holds a Ph.D. in fields related
to subsurface energy science, related environmental
science and/or technology; or other relevant fields
and has a proven track record of productivity and
excellence in research and teaching. He/she will
understand the importance to SERC of a fair and
balanced research portfolio in energy and related
environmental, economic, and social issues, and
outreach; will understand and embrace the impor-
tance of extension and outreach; and will have expe-
rience working with groups from varied technical
backgrounds ranging from layperson to expert.
Previous experience in organizing and administering
large research programs or a center is desired. The
candidate is expected to build strong collaborations
with faculty from varied departments across the
university and orchestrate large multi-disciplinary/
multi-institutional proposals. Candidates experi-
enced in university structure and functions, expecta-
tions of faculty, and the importance of curriculum
development are desired. Individuals with extensive
cies such as DoE, DoD/ARPA-E, and NSF, non-
federal foundations, major energy companies, and
manufacturers are encouraged to apply.
