The Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at the University of New Mexico seeks applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Hydrology. The tenure-track appointment (which is probationary until the tenure decision) is anticipated at the Assistant Professor level, to commence Fall 2008. The successful applicant must have a PhD in Hydrology or closely related area of the Geosciences by the time of the appointment. We require a candidate with demonstrated research abilities in hydrology. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an externally funded research program, and be an effective teacher and mentor at the undergraduate and graduate levels (MS and PhD). Preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated background and research experience in at least one of the following areas: (a) hydrogeophysics; (b) groundwater-surface water interaction; (c) integration of atmospheric, surface, and subsurface hydrologic processes at the watershed scale; (d) groundwater flow and transport. The selected candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Earth & Planetary Sciences and will have the opportunity to participate in the department’s Environmental Science BS degree program. The hydrologist may participate in collaborative research in related areas of strength, including but not restricted to hydrostratigraphy, hydrogeoecology/freshwater sciences, climate dynamics, hillslope and fluvial geomorphology, geochemistry and biogeochemistry, and water resources. Opportunities for collaboration exist with the UNM-administered Long-Term Ecological Research site and the UNM Water Resources Program, which offers a professional Master’s degree.
