The Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Rice University is seeking applications for TWO tenure-track assistant professor positions in (1) Planetary Science and (2) Environmental Science and Natural Resources. More information and details on how to apply can be found here: EEPS Job Opportunities https://eeps.rice.edu/eeps-job-opportunities
Planetary Science Position:
Broadly defined, with particular interests in planetary geochemistry, cosmochemistry, astromaterials and astrobiology, as well as comparative planetology, planet-scale modeling, and planetary habitability of the solar system and beyond. Applicants using analytical, remote sensing, sample-based, and modeling approaches are welcome.
Environmental Science and Natural Resources Position:
We encourage applicants from across the fields of environmental science, with particular interest in areas related to the hydrosphere, including surface and subsurface fluids, (e.g. hydrology, hydrogeology, hydroclimatology, hydrogeophysics, ecohydrology), water resources, and surface processes.
We also encourage candidates pursuing research in natural resources relevant to the energy transition to apply, with particular interest in the subfields of geothermal energy, geologic carbon sequestration, subsurface energy storage (e.g. CAES, thermal, H2), and critical minerals. Applicants using laboratory, field, observational, or computational methods are welcome.
REQUIREMENTS
All candidates must have earned a Ph.D. degree in Earth, Environmental, or Planetary Science or a related field by the time of the appointment. Applicants will be required to submit the following: (1) cover letter; (2) curriculum vitae; (3) statement of research; (4) statement on teaching; (5) statement on diversity, mentoring, and outreach (see guidelines here https://eeps.rice.edu/diversity-mentoring-and-outreach-statement-guidelines); and (6) the names, affiliations, and email addresses of at least three professional references. Details about the department and its facilities can be found at https://eeps.rice.edu/research. All required application materials submitted by November 1, 2022 are ensured full consideration. For questions please contact eeps-search<at>rice.edu <eeps-search<at>rice.edu>.
Successful candidates are expected to establish a vigorous, externally funded research program, teach core courses and develop undergraduate and graduate courses within their area of expertise, and be involved in service to the department, university, and the broader scientific community.
We particularly welcome applications from individuals with a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
