SEDIMENTARY GEOCHEMIST/PALEOBIOLOGIST/UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS

The Department of Geology invites applications for a tenure track
appointment at the assistant professor level in the field of sedimentary
geochemistry/paleobiology. The position will remain open until filled, but
may begin as early as July 1, 1996.  A Ph.D. at the time of appointment is
required.
        We seek applicants whose research emphasizes the study of both
geochemical and biological processes in marine carbonate sedimentary
environments.  We are particularly interested in individuals who
investigate environmental change and biological processes in ancient and
modern shallow marine carbonate sediments using geochemical techniques.
Such a scientist would contribute to our understanding of global
environments, biological evolution, and global geochemical and
biogeochemical cycles.
        The successful applicant will be expected to maintain a vigorous,
externally-funded research program and to teach at both the undergraduate
and graduate level.  Possible teaching responsibilities include courses in
stratigraphy/sedimentation, oceanography, paleobiology, or biogeochemistry.
The applicant will also be expected to supervise M.S. and Ph.D. students
and to serve on departmental and university committees.
        Send a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching
interests, and the names, addresses, phone, fax and e-mail addresses of
three references to: Jeffrey Mount, Chair, Search Committee, Department of
Geology, University of California, Davis, CA, 95616.  Dr. Mount can be
reached via e-mail at: mount@geology.ucdavis.edu.  A description of the
Department and its facilities is available on the web at:

       We will begin reviewing applications January 2, 1996.  The
University of California is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
employer.  Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
