Sedimentary Geology Multiple Faculty Positions

The Department of Geology and Geophysics at Texas A&M University invites applications from individuals or groups for up to three tenure-track faculty positions in sedimentary geology, broadly defined. Areas of interest include but are not limited to fundamental and applied problems in sedimentary processes ranging from pore to basin scale, depositional environments, sequence stratigraphy, basin architecture, sea level change and coastal evolution, and energy and natural resource science. Hiring is anticipated over a range of ranks. Successful applicants will be expected to develop and maintain vigorous, externally funded research programs and contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching. There is ample opportunity to collaborate with faculty in the Department, other research units in the College of Geosciences, and the Department of Petroleum Engineering.

Interested candidates should submit electronic versions of a curriculum vita, statement of research interests and teaching philosophy, the names and email addresses of at least three references, and up to four reprints by email attachments, to the Chair of the Sedimentary Geology Search Committee, sedsearch@geo.tamu.edu. Group applications should be submitted as a single package. Screening of applications will begin October 31, 2007 and will continue until positions are filled. A Ph.D. is required at the time of employment.

The Department of Geology and Geophysics is part of the College of Geosciences, which also includes the Departments of Geography, Oceanography, and Atmospheric Sciences, Sea Grant, the Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (GERG), and the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP).
