Position in Earth System Analysis in Earth and Ocean 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 to apply.
