Associate Director for Natural Hazards - U.S. Geological Survey
SENIOR EXECUTIVE SERVICE POSITION
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) seeks qualified candidates for the full-time position of Associate Director for Natural Hazards. This is a Senior Executive Service (SES) position with a salary range of $119,554 - $179,700 per year. This announcement closes on
December 28, 2010.
The Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience Mission Area of the USGS includes dynamic programs critical to our nation’s health and safety. Under this Mission Area, the USGS collects and disseminates accurate and timely information from modern earth observation networks, assesses areas at risk from natural hazards, and conducts focused research to improve hazard-warnings, predictions, and mitigation. Programs work actively with the Nation’s communities to assess the vulnerability of cities and ecosystems and to ensure that science is effectively applied to reduce the loss of life and property. A national risk monitoring program is being developed, built on a robust underpinning of hazard assessment and research, to visualize and provide perspectives at multiple scales of vulnerability and resilience to hazards and land change.
The Associate Director for Natural Hazards is responsible for providing executive leadership over this broad Mission Area of natural science investigations and research aimed at safeguarding people and property and keeping natural hazards from becoming natural disasters. He/she provides oversight over the Coastal and Marine Geology, Earthquake Hazards, Volcano Hazards, Landslide Hazards, Global Seismographic Network and Geomagnetism programs nationwide as well as coordination with USGS responsibilities in flood, fire, and tsunami hazards. These programs enhance the understanding of the interaction of Earth systems, and through USGS scientists, generate and disseminate natural science information that is important to society and the future well-being of the Nation. The Mission Area also includes global responsibilities in hazard monitoring and research in collaboration with international partners.

Tenure-Track Faculty Position - Hydrogeology - University of Kentucky
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Kentucky invites applications for a faculty position in hydrogeology beginning August 2011. We are primarily seeking to hire at the assistant professor level (tenure-track), but in exceptional circumstances a more senior candidate may be considered to fill the department’s Hudnall Chair at full professor rank. Applicants are expected to complement our existing programs in hydrogeology, nearsurface and environmental geophysics, and stable-isotope geochemistry, and interact with broader segments of the UK community.
In particular, we seek a fieldwork- and modelingoriented candidate with expertise in hydrogeophysics, ecohydrology, karst hydrology, and/or large-scale water-cycle studies. A broad range of opportunities exists for cooperation with other academic units, the Kentucky Geological Survey, the UK Center for Applied Energy Research, the Tracy Farmer Institute for Sustainability and the Environment, and the Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute.
In addition to developing a rigorous, productive, externally funded research program, the new faculty member will teach courses at the introductory, major, and graduate levels and supervise graduate students. Applicants will demonstrate a track record of publication and funding; relevant experience beyond the Ph.D. is desirable.
Interested applicants should submit via e-mail (merged pdf document): cover letter, curriculum vitae, brief statements of research and teaching interests, copies of relevant research publications, and contact information for at least three references to Prof. Alan Fryar (alan.fryar@uky.edu), Hydrogeology Search Committee Chair. We will begin review of applications on November 8, 2010; however, applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The University of Kentucky is an ffirmative Action/Equal Opportunity university that values diversity and is located in an increasingly diverse geographical region. As a land-grant institution and Kentucky’s flagship university, UK is committed to becoming one of the top public institutions in the country. Women, persons with disabilities, and members of other underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. The University also supports family-friendly policies. Additional details of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (faculty, research clusters, facilities) and University of Kentucky may be viewed at our web pages: www.as.uky.edu/ees and www.uky.edu.
