EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL
GEOSCIENCE INFORMATICS
DARTMOUTH COLLEGE
The Dept. of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth Col-
lege invites applications for an assistant or associ-
ate rank tenure-track position in the area of earth
and environmental geoscience informatics with
specific application to one or more of our core
research areas: ice and climate systems, watershed
and soil processes, or environmental (bio)geo-
chemistry. We are especially interested in candi-
dates who combine a focus on understanding fun-
damental physical and/or geochemical processes
in modern or ancient systems using innovative
analyses of big and/or broad datasets and to candi-
dates who provide synergy with ongoing research
activities within the department and elsewhere at
Dartmouth.
The Dept. of Earth Sciences is home to
11 tenured and tenure-track faculty members in
the School of Arts and Sciences, and enjoys strong
Ph.D. and M.S. programs as well as outstanding
undergraduate majors. To create an atmosphere
supportive of research, Dartmouth College offers
new faculty members grants for research-related
expenses, a quarter of sabbatical leave for each
three academic years in residence, and flexible
scheduling of teaching responsibilities. We have
strong traditions in graduate and undergraduate
teaching, and the successful candidate will help
develop curricular and research opportunities
in the analysis of big and/or broad data. Teach-
ing responsibilities consist of three courses per
year at both introductory and graduate-levels.

Dartmouth College has undergraduate and
graduate student populations that are diverse by
many measures. We seek applicants with a record
of successful teaching and mentoring of students
from all backgrounds (including first-generation
college students, low-income students, racial
and ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ, etc.).
Dartmouth provides opportunities to participate
in undergraduate diversity initiatives in STEM
research, such as our Women in Science Program,
E. E. Just STEM Scholars Program, and Academic
Summer Undergraduate Research Experience
(ASURE).
To submit an application, upload a cover let-
ter, curriculum vitae, statements of teaching and
research interests and objectives, reprints or pre-
prints of up to three of your most significant pub-
lications, and the name, address (including street
address), e-mail address and fax/phone numbers
of at least three references to http://apply.interfolio rock geology, planetary geology, remote sensing,
.com/43899
Application review will begin November 1,
2017, and continue until the position is filled.
The appointment will be effective July 1, 2018.

Opportunities for Students
Doctoral Fellowship in Transdisciplinary Tec-
tonics at Utah State University. The Dept. of
Geology at USU seeks outstanding PhD applicants
for a Presidential Doctoral Research Fellowship
pursuing research in tectonics, starting fall 2018.
This selective fellowship provides four years
of support in the form of a competitive stipend,
tuition, and health benefits. Two research themes
in tectonics within the department are:
1. What controls fault zone and plate boundary
behavior through time? Critical to under-
standing these processes are constraints on
earthquake process, timing, and physics, char-
acterization of Earth material properties and
petrology, the role of fluids in fault slip, and the istry, core and mantle processes, sedimentary
rheological evolution of the lithosphere.
2. What are the interactions among tectonics,
surface processes, and landscape evolution?
Research in tectonic geomorphology and
geodynamics involves deep-Earth and near-
surface/critical zone processes, drainage
analysis, and natural hazards.
The Dept. of Geology at USU is field oriented,
has a dynamic graduate program, and is located
in northern Utah surrounded by excellent outdoor
opportunities.
Visit http://geology.usu.edu for more informa-
tion about our program and possible faculty men-
tors, and contact tammy.rittenour@usu.edu for
questions. Applications are due January 8, 2018 at
www.usu.edu/graduateschool/.
Graduate Assistantships at Indiana Univer-
sity–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI).
With broad expertise in geosciences and par-
ticular strengths in Geochemistry, IUPUI’s Earth
Sciences department provides opportunities for
graduate training and research in downtown India-
napolis. We offer an M.S. in Geology and Ph.D. in
Applied Earth Sciences. The Ph.D. program pro-
vides opportunities for advanced interdisciplinary
research at the interface of earth sciences, public
health, and geospatial analysis, and will prepare
graduates for solving important interdisciplinary
problems of the 21st century. Our interdisciplin-
ary program welcomes individuals from diverse
backgrounds in Geology, Environmental Science,
Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Engineering, Medi-
cal or Mathematics. Applicants will be consid-
ered for our Mirsky Fellowship, along with other
teaching and research assistantships available in
the department for Fall 2018. The department has
14 full time faculty with active research programs
in topics including aqueous and microbial geo-
chemistry, stable isotopes, paleoclimatology and
global change, medical geology, surface and hard
biogeosciences, geomorphology and hydrology.
Several new state-of-the-art geochemistry labs
have been built and equipped with stable isotope
ratio mass spectrometers, cavity ring down spec-
trometers, GC-MS, ICP-MS, ICP-OES, electro-
chemical equipment, chromatographs (IC, HPLC,
GC), spectroscopes, XRD, multisensor core scan-
ner, and a full suite of wet chemical, solid state, and
biological lab and field equipment. Assistantships
include salary, tuition remission, and health insur-
ance. Indianapolis is a very affordable, livable, and
vibrant city with a wealth of outdoor, cultural, and
sporting activities. Visit http://earthsciences.iupui.
edu/ and http://earthsciences.iupui.edu/graduate/
degrees for additional information on our depart-
ment and graduate degrees, respectively.
Graduate Student Opportunities at Case West-
ern Reserve University. Students with back-
grounds in geology, physics, chemistry, biology,
engineering, and related fields are encouraged to
apply for our Ph.D. and MS programs in Earth,
Environmental, and Planetary Sciences. Areas of
active research in the department include plan-
etary geology and geodynamics, planetary materi-
als, high-pressure mineral physics and geochem-
geology, and sediment transport. For more infor-
mation, please visit http://eeps.case.edu or write to

ment faculty research interests. Exceptional stu-
dents will receive Research or Teaching Assistant-
ships and a Lindahl Scholarship totaling $22,000
for a nine month appointment, and the cost of
non-resident tuition is covered. Funding is renew-
able for 4 years if expectations are met. Other fel-
lowships are available from the Graduate School.
