*Environmental Geoscientist/University of **Illinois** at Chicago (UIC)* The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences announces a tenure-track faculty position in the field of environmental geoscience. We seek an outstanding individual who will begin in August 2006 at the rank of Assistant Professor. Research areas of interest include geobiology (e.g., geomicrobiology, biogeochemistry, biomineralogy), Earth systems history (e.g., Earth’s surface processes in response to global change, sedimentary geology, paleoecology), hydrogeology (e.g., reactive mass transport, surface water-groundwater interactions), or others that complement our existing strengths in geochemistry, mineralogy, Quaternary geology, paleontology, and geodynamics. Creative and energetic candidates will apply quantitative analytical techniques to investigate near-surface processes. The successful applicant will establish an independent, externally-funded research program and will teach effectively at undergraduate and graduate levels. The Department is an expanding, dynamic unit with an emphasis on integrative research approaches (http://www.uic.edu/depts/geos). We have state-of-the-art laboratories for aqueous, organic, stable isotope, and mineral-water interface geochemistry, mineralogy, X-ray crystallography, Quaternary geochronology, and sedimentology. Additional analytical facilities (e.g., high resolution transmission electron microscopy) are available in UIC’s Research Resources Center (http://www.rrc.uic.edu/), and through active research programs with Argonne National Laboratory (e.g., Advanced Photon Source) and the Field Museum of Natural History. Applicants must have a Ph.D. and should submit statements of research and teaching interests, CV, and contact information for four professional references to: *Faculty Search, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago, 845 West Taylor Street, MC-186, Chicago, IL 60607-7059. *Applications should be received by November 15, 2005, although the search will remain open until the position is filled.
