2) Tenure-track Assistant/Associate Position in sedimentary basin analysis – The Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences (MEAS) at North Carolina State University
The Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences (MEAS) at North Carolina State University (NC State) intends to fill a junior (Assistant / Associate Professor) tenure-track faculty position in sedimentary basin analysis. Possible research areas include, but are not limited to, the relationship of basin evolution to mantle processes, linkages of stratigraphy to landscape evolution as a function of tectonics, climate, and sea-level change, the prediction of sub-surface porosity and permeability to model the movement of water and hydrocarbons, and the use of stratigraphy in paleo-environmental and paleo-biological studies. The starting date for this position is 15 August 2016. Candidates that combine surface and/or subsurface observations with numerical simulations, analogue models, or laboratory experiments to investigate the geologic history of sedimentary basins are preferred, and applicants should have a strong interest in interdisciplinary collaborations across and beyond the geosciences.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree in the geosciences or a related field. Postdoctoral experience is preferred, but not required. The successful candidate must demonstrate strong potential for outstanding accomplishments in research, research supervision, and teaching. The successful applicant will be expected to teach an undergraduate-level course in stratigraphy, as well as other undergraduate and graduate classes commensurate with the candidate’s interest and expertise. An interest in participating in the Department’s capstone undergraduate geology field course also is desirable.
