Subject: MARINE or AQUATIC INORGANIC GEOCHEMIST position
The
School of Marine Science and Virginia Institute of Marine Science
(VIMS) of the College of William & Mary seek applicants for a tenure-track
faculty position in marine or aquatic inorganic geochemistry. It
is anticipated that this position will be filled at the Assistant
or beginning Associate Professor level as early as June 2002. Applicants
should have research and teaching interests in the quantitative
understanding of geochemical/biogeochemical processes influencing
inorganic species in the water column and/or sediments of marine
systems. Areas of specialization include, but are not limited to:
understanding the distributions and cycling of geochemically relevant
inorganic solutes, including minor and trace elements and radionuclides;
assessing the chemical structure and behavior of minerals; and studying
the effects of biogeochemical processes on the distributions of
inorganic species in solution and at surfaces.
Applicants
must have a Ph.D., and postdoctoral research and teaching experience
is highly desirable. For appointment at the Assistant Professor
level, the candidate must demonstrate strong potential for future
success in research productivity through external funding and publication
of peer-review manuscripts, and be willing to play a significant
role in graduate teaching and mentoring in the marine sciences.
For appointment at the Associate Professor level, candidates must
additionally have a strong established record of research accomplishments
backed by a significant record of peer-reviewed publications and
externally funded grants, and experience teaching graduate courses
and mentoring M.S. and Ph.D. level students in the area of their
research expertise. The ideal candidate would be interested in developing
interdisciplinary collaborations with scientists both in their home
department (Physical Sciences), and across the Institute and College
(including the Jefferson National Accelerator Facility). Faculty
in the School of Marine Science are expected to develop an independently
funded research program, teach at the introductory and advanced
graduate levels, mentor M.S. and Ph.D. students, and participate
as needed in advisory functions of the Institute.
The
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is one of the leading estuarine
and coastal marine science institutions in the world, with 65 faculty
and a graduate student body of over 130. VIMS houses state-of-the-art
oceanographic instrumentation and analytical facilities, a large
fleet of coastal research vessels, a world-class marine science
library, and is within close proximity to estuarine, continental
margin, and open ocean environments. The School of Marine Science
is a part of the College of William & Mary, one of the top-rated
public universities in the United States. Further information on
VIMS and Wm. & Mary can be found at http://www.vims.edu. Applicants
should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching
interests, and names and contact information for five references.
All materials should be sent to: Inorganic Geochemist Search Committee,
Department of Physical Sciences, School of Marine Science, Virginia
Institute of Marine Science, P.O. Box 1346, (for overnight delivery:
1208 Greate Rd.), Gloucester Point, VA, 23062-1346. Review will
begin in early January 2002, and continue until the position is
filled.
The
College is an EEO/AA employer.
