The Department of Geology and Geophysics at Texas A&M University invites applications from individuals for two tenure-track faculty positions as assistant professors in (a) Siliciclastic Sedimentology/Stratigraphy and (b) Reflection Seismology. Both positions begin September 2012.
Siliciclastic Sedimentology/Stratigraphy — We seek candidates who will develop an externally-funded research program in the general area of Siliciclastic Sedimentology/Stratigraphy. This includes but is not limited to one or more of the following research topics: sequence stratigraphy, the sedimentary record of long-term climate change, depositional processes, and diagenesis. We seek applicants with strong potential to collaborate with current faculty as well as potential to interact with the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program and the Berg-Hughes Center for Sedimentary and Petroleum Systems, both of which are housed within the College of Geosciences at Texas A&M.
Reflection Seismology — The successful applicant will establish an active, innovative research program while complementing current departmental strengths in petroleum geology and geophysics, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and structural geology and will participate actively in the Berg-Hughes Center for Petroleum and Sedimentary Systems.
Applicants for both positions must have a Ph.D. at the time of appointment. Post-doctoral research and teaching experience are desirable for each position. Successful applicants will be expected to teach effectively at the undergraduate and graduate levels in their specialty, including classes in the Petroleum Certificate curriculum; supervise undergraduate, M.S. and Ph.D. research, including students who are interested in pursuing careers in the petroleum industry. Each candidate is expected to initiate and maintain a vigorous, externally funded research program. Opportunities exist to participate in and build on collaborative programs with colleagues in the College of Geosciences, Petroleum Engineering, and elsewhere at Texas A&M University.
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 either the Chair of the Sedimentology Search Committee (sedsearch@geos.tamu.edu) or Chair of the Reflection Seismology Search Committee (seissearch@geos.tamu.edu). Screening of applications for both positions will begin November 1, 2011 and will continue until the positions are filled.
