Department of Geological Sciences

The Department of Geological Sciences, University of Florida, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in climate change research to start Fall 2010. The appointment is at the rank of Assistant Professor; however, appointments at the Associate Professor rank will be considered. We seek an exceptional scientist to complement existing departmental research on the environment and past variations in Earth’s climate. The successful candidate must have an established record of publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals, clear potential to lead an externally-funded research program, and enthusiasm for teaching and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. We are particularly interested in applicants with expertise in the broad fields of paleoclimatology, paleoceanography, paleolimnology, global climate change, and stable isotope geochemistry. Geochemists who would continue to develop existing stable isotope facilities as a center for interaction within the department as well as with other colleges and interdisciplinary institutes and centers at UF are encouraged to apply.  Salary will be negotiable and commensurate with experience.
