Sciences (EOS)
Duke University's Division of Earth
and Ocean Sciences in the Nicholas School of
the Environment and Earth Sciences (NSEES)
anticipates hiring a global hydrologist whose
research emphasis is on climate change and
water resources. We seek a natural scientist
engaged in the interdisciplinary field of global
hydrology, with a focus on the global water
cycle, biogeochemical or geochemical properties
of water resources, and/or human impacts from
changes in global water systems. We seek a
candidate with the ability to work at regional
or global scales, using global earth systems
models; advanced remote sensing technologies;
and/or terrestrial observations of the amount
and quality of surface and ground water. The
candidate will be expected to work with Duke
faculty to enhance existing scientific programs
on climate change, water resources and hydrology.
Additionally, the successful candidate may
choose to work with researchers at the Nicholas
Institute on Environmental Policy Solutions
to establish an interface between climate change,
changes in water cycling and quality and water
policy.
The appointment is open at an assistant professor
level. Candidates should possess a portfolio of
experience and accomplishments, a strong interest
in teaching and mentoring students, and the capacity
for playing an active role in the School's water
and climate change programs.
The Nicholas School includes 50 faculty representing
a diversity of disciplines. We offer professional
and graduate degrees, and we direct Duke's undergraduate
environmental programs.
Letters of interest should include a curriculum
vitae and names of three references, and be sent
to Chair, Earth System Analysis Search Committee,
Division of Earth and Ocean Sciences, Nicholas
School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, Box
90227, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708. Applications
are due by January 1, 2007.
Duke University is an equal-opportunity/affirmative
action employer. Women and minorities are encouraged
