Remote Sensing/Earth System Science
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at UIC seeks a
geophysicist for a tenure-track appointment to begin August 2003 at the
Assistant Professor level. Specific areas of interest may include
atmospheric science, biogeoscience, geodynamics, hydrology,
oceanography, structural geology, and seismology. Preference will be
given to candidates with expertise in the broad area of remote sensing,
who can help bridge existing strengths in geochemistry, mineralogy,
petrology, and surficial processes. The Department is an expanding,
dynamic unit with a growing emphasis on integrative research
approaches.
The successful candidate will be expected to establish a significant,
externally-funded research program and to teach effectively at
undergraduate and graduate levels. The Department has extensive
laboratories for earth-materials characterization, aqueous, organic, and
isotopic geochemistry, experimental petrology, Quaternary geochronology
and sedimentology. UIC is a leader in advanced computational resources
and electronic visualization capabilities.
Applicants must submit statements of research and teaching interests, CV,
