The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) at Lehigh
University announces a tenure-track opening at the Assistant Professor
level for an Earth System scientist who conducts research in the
near-surface environment where biological, geological, hydrological,
atmospheric, and human processes interact.
EES seeks a candidate doing innovative research, ideally with
observations and modeling directed toward understanding the processes
that control the behavior of the global environment and its response to
natural and anthropogenic forcing at geologic to modern time scales.
Fields of interest include, but are not limited to, biogeochemistry,
climatology, oceanography, glaciology, geobiology, and ecosystem
ecology. EES expects the successful candidate to develop a vigorous
externally funded research program, teach a course in their field of
expertise, contribute to undergraduate and graduate curricula, and
mentor PhD, MS, and undergraduate students. This position is one of
several new hires in EES, engineering, and the social sciences expected
to participate in a university-wide, multidisciplinary initiative
focused on the environment.
Applicants should submit by 15 November 2007 a letter of application,
curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, up to
three reprints, and the names of three referees to:
