5) Tenure-track position in Earth and Planetary Evolution – The Department of Geology & Geophysics  the University of Utah

The Department of Geology & Geophysics at the University of Utah seeks applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in Earth and Planetary Evolution beginning July1, 2021. This is the first of several hires we anticipate within the next few years. We seek a colleague who complements the Department’s long-standing strengths in understanding the evolution of Earth and other planets through geochemical, geophysical, geological, and biological observations. Candidates whose research bridges multiple Earth science approaches and ideas or would foster new connections within or beyond the College of Mines & Earth Sciences are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an internationally visible, externally funded research program and teach departmental courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment. Evaluation of applications will begin on January 1, 2021 and continue until the position is filled.

To apply, candidates should submit (1) statement of interest, (2) summary of current research activities and future research and funding plans, (3) teaching statement describing teaching philosophy and proposed courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels for the University of Utah, (4) diversity statement describing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and the mentoring of diverse students and junior colleagues, (5) curriculum vitae, and (6) names and contact information for five referees. Research and teaching statements should be limited to four pages each.

The University of Utah values candidates who have experience working in settings with students from diverse backgrounds, and possess a strong commitment to improving access to higher education for historically underrepresented students.

Specific questions about the position should be directed to Gabriel Bowen (gabe.bowen@utah.edu). More Information about the Department of Geology and Geophysics can be found at: http://www.earth.utah.edu

6) Postdoctoral Research Opportunity Computational modeling of landscape evolution at the watershed scale –  Boston College

We seek an individual with a strong background in quantitative geomorphology, sediment transport, geodynamics, math and physics, and/or computer modeling. This individual will join an interdisciplinary team of researchers at Boston College studying sediment erosion, transport, and deposition on the scale of an entire watershed. The postdoctoral position will involve the formulation, development, and analysis of numerical models to explore how climate and land-use change over the next decades to centuries will influence sediment delivery to reservoirs, harbors and coasts in the United States. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department and BC, and we specifically seek individuals from underrepresented groups. Funding is available for 1.5 years. To apply, email a CV, brief summary of research to date, and the names of 3 letter writers. To receive maximum consideration for this position, please submit your application by January 8, 2021.

Contact: Noah Snyder (noah.snyder@bc.edu) and Mark Behn (mark.behn@bc.edu)
