Faculty
Assistant Professor in Planetary Sciences
Purdue University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS). The position is open to all areas of EAPS, but with a particular focus on candidates who would contribute to our strong new effort in Planetary Sciences. Jay Melosh has joined the Purdue Faculty and, together with Andy Freed, Marc Caffee, and David Minton, has a mandate to expand Planetary Sciences.
The successful candidate will be an outstanding researcher with potential for excellence in teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. EAPS has outstanding programs in geodynamics, isotope geochemistry, terrestrial climate and extreme weather systems. In Planetary Sciences, we seek someone who will complement our existing strengths in modeling and isotopic cosmochemistry, and, given Purdue¹s emphasis on science, mathematics and engineering, we seek a quantitatively focused researcher with an interest in planetary surface processes.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a field related to EAPS. Salary and benefits are highly competitive. The appointment will begin in August 2013. Candidates are expected to develop a vigorous research program, obtain external funding, supervise graduate students, and teach undergraduate and graduate courses. Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, publication list, and brief descriptions of their planned research program and teaching philosophy to EAPSsearch@purdue.edu. Names and contact information for at least three referees must be included in the application. Information on the EAPS department can be found at http://www.eaps.purdue.edu. Applications completed by January 1, 2013 will be given full consideration, although the search will continue until the position is filled. A background check is required for employment in this position.
Assistant Professor - Regional to Global-Scale Earth System Dynamics
In support of its unique program in climate and extreme weather, Purdue University’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) invites applications for a tenure track faculty position, at the rank of Assistant Professor, in large-scale, Earth-system dynamics. We are particularly interested in candidates who investigate the spatial and/or temporal links between large-scale atmospheric processes and phenomena occurring at local scales. The expectation is that the successful candidate will work across scales, using novel integrative approaches that range from theoretical to statistical to numerical modeling.
The appointee must have completed a Ph.D. in, or a field related to, the Earth, Atmospheric, or Planetary Sciences at the time of employment. The appointee is expected to develop and maintain a vigorous, externally funded, internationally recognized research program and to teach and mentor students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applications will be accepted until March 1, 2013, with applicant screening beginning on January 1, 2013. Additional information on EAPS can be found at http://www.eaps.purdue.edu. To apply, submit: (1) a cover letter, including names of three people who may be asked to send letters of reference; (2) a curriculum vita; and (3) statements of research and teaching experience and interests, to thompsow@purdue.edu with the subject line “Regional to Global-Scale Earth System Dynamics”. A background check is required for employment in this position.
