Announcements Geological Oceanographer: Sediment Transport The University of Southern Mississippi The University of Southern Mississippi’s Department of Marine Science at Stennis Space Center seeks to hire a sedimentologist at the tenure-track, Assistant Professor level. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in geological oceanography or a related field, and have demonstrated field and research experience in depositional processes and transport, preferably in shelf and coastal environments. Post-doctoral experience is desirable. The successful candidate is expected to conduct an active research program and teach graduate courses. Expertise in field observation in concert with numerical or laboratory modeling and knowledge of GIS and/or remote sensing applications are desirable. Research interests in morphodynamic substrate evolution, hydraulics and sediment transport, sediment budgets, high-resolution effects of events and/or processes on subsurface architecture are highly desirable. The position requires interactions with ecologists, acousticians, physical oceanographers, stratigraphers, paleoclimatologists, geochemists, and hydrographers to address multidisciplinary problems in neritic environments. Information is available on-line about the Department at http://www.marine.usm.edu. Candidates must submit, preferably by electronic mail, a curriculum vita with a research plan; a statement of teaching philosophy; and names, mailing addresses, and e-mail addresses of four referees to Charlotte Brunner, Chair of Search Committee, Department of Marine Science, University of Southern Mississippi, 1020 Balch Blvd., Stennis Space Center, MS 39529 (FAX: 228-688-1121; e-mail: Charlotte.Brunner@usm.edu). Review of candidates will begin February 15 and will continue until the position is filled. The University of Southern Mississippi’s Department of Marine Science is home to a multidisciplinary program of graduate study and research in marine environments. The department offers a Master of Science and Ph.D. in Marine Science and a Master of Science in Hydrographic Science. Located at Stennis Space Center, USM’s Department of Marine Science is strategically situated at the single largest concentration of oceanographers and hydrographers in the world. Thirteen on?site faculty conduct research and teach courses in biological oceanography, marine chemistry, geological oceanography, physical oceanography, bio?optics, remote sensing, numerical modeling, hydrography, and underwater acoustics to ~45 full time graduate students. Faculty also interact with research scientists at government agencies located on site including the U.S. Navy, EPA, NOAA, USGS, and NASA. On April 23, 2002, the USM Department of Marine Science broke ground for a new $3 million, 17,000 square foot marine science laboratory building that will be the first permanent University facility constructed at Stennis Space Center. USM is an AA/EO employer. |
