Tenure-track Position in Paleoclimatology

The Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Minnesota invites applications for a tenure track position in the broad field of paleoclimate research over any interval of geologic time. The main research approach may be record-based or modeling but should emphasize processes. We seek applicants who will take advantage of many collaborative opportunities within the Department and the University, which include, but are not limited to, the National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics housed at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, the Limnological Research Center and LacCore (National Lacustrine Core Curation Facility), the Minnesota Supercomputer Institute, the Institute for Rock Magnetism, and Quaternary Paleoecology Graduate Minor Program.

The appointment will be made at the Assistant Professor level. The successful applicant is expected to teach at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, advise graduate and undergraduate students, and establish a research program in the area of paleoclimatology which involves supervision of students who are PhD candidates. Review of applications will begin on November 12, 2004. Send research and teaching statements, CV, and 3 letters of recommendation to Paleoclimate Search Committee, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Minnesota, 310 Pillsbury Drive, SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA.
