AND MODELING POSITION
BERG-HUGHES CENTER AND
DEPT. OF GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS
TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY
The Berg-Hughes Center for Petroleum and Sedi-
mentary Systems (BHC) and the Dept. of Geology
and Geophysics at Texas A&M University invite
applications from individuals for a non-tenure track,
three-year renewable contract position as a Research
Professor in Sedimentary Basin Analysis and
Modeling beginning January 16, 2017. This position
will be a joint appointment with teaching, research
and service responsibilities in the Berg-Hughes
Center and Dept. of Geology and Geophysics. This
is a 9-month annual appointment.
The principal responsibility of this position is
to lead the collaborative research and teaching
programs in the Chevron–TAMU/BHC Basin
Modeling Center of Research Excellence in the BHC
and Dept. of Geology and Geophysics. This respon-
sibility includes leading in the development of a
robust externally funded research program in basin
analysis and modeling that includes research collab-
oration with researchers in the petroleum industry;
teaching integrative courses that introduce advanced
concepts and technologies needed for unraveling
the geo-history of sedimentary basins and the origin
and location of unconventional and conventional
petroleum resources inherent to sedimentary basins,
and supervising graduate students and mentoring
faculty in the use of sophisticated computational and
applied research approaches and techniques to solve
complex geologic problems.
We seek candidates who have had extensive expe-
rience in sedimentary basin analysis and modeling
and in serving as a team leader on multidisciplinary
research projects, and who have demonstrated the
ability to develop and maintain an externally funded
research program. Applicants must have a record of
success in working collaboratively with researchers
in academia and the petroleum industry and be
enthusiastic about teaching integrative courses and
supervising graduate students in basin analysis, basin
architecture, basin modeling, basin geodynamics,
and related areas.
Applicants must have an earned Ph.D. at the
time of appointment. Successful applicants will be
expected to teach effectively at the graduate level in
basin analysis and modeling and related fields and
in team-taught courses, including classes in the
48
Petroleum Certificate curriculum and to supervise
undergraduate, M.S. and Ph.D. research, including
students who are interested in pursuing careers in
build and maintain a collaborative research program
with colleagues in the College of Geosciences, the
Berg-Hughes Center, the Dept. of Geology and
Geophysics, the Dept. of Petroleum
Engineering, and other energy related groups at
Texas A&M University and the Texas A&M Univer-
sity System and with geoscientists and petroleum
engineers in the oil and gas industry and national
and international research institutions.
Interested candidates should submit electronic
versions of a letter of application, curriculum vita,
teaching philosophy, statement of research vision,
strategies to implement that vision, and accomplish-
ments, and the names and email addresses of at least
three references to the Chair of the Basin Analysis
and Modeling Search Committee, cdengo@tamu.

TENURE-TRACK ASSISTANT
PROFESSOR, IGNEOUS PROCESSES
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
The Dept. of Geology & Geophysics at the Univer-
sity of Utah invites applications for a tenure-track
Assistant Professor position in Igneous Processes
beginning fall semester 2017. Applicants must have a
Ph.D., and the successful candidate will be expected
to build a productive and internationally visible
research program. We will consider candidates
in a broad range of igneous specialties, including
one or more of igneous petrology, volcanology,
igneous geochemistry including radiogenic isotopes/
geochronology, and magma physics/fluid dynamics
(e.g., physical processes of magma formation, diffu-
sive and advective mass transfer in magmas, erup-
tion and crystallization processes). We particularly
welcome candidates applying integrated field, labo-
ratory and computational approaches to igneous
systems. The Dept. of Geology and Geophysics
is housed in the Frederick A. Sutton Building, a
new state of the art teaching and research facility.
Available research tools include LA-MC-ICP-MS,
the SIRFER stable-isotope facility, noble-gas mass
spectrometry, electron microprobe, QEMSCAN,
paleomagnetic and rock magnetic facilities, and
access to the University’s Surface Analysis Center
and the Center for High Performance Computing.
Opportunities also exist for professional interac-
tions outside the department with personnel at the
University of Utah’s Energy and Geoscience Insti-
tute, the Utah Geological Survey and the United
States Geological Survey. Applications should be
received by September 30, 2016, for full consider-
ation; however, applications received after that time
may be considered until the position is filled. To
apply, upload a statement of teaching and research
interests, curriculum vitae, names and contact infor-
mation for three references to: utah.peopleadmin.
