Sciences Department of Environmental Sciences invites applicants for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor position in remote sensing of Earth
surface processes. We seek candidates who are dedicated to our mission
and passionate about research and teaching in a world-class institution.
Examples of research areas that would strengthen and enhance our
existing program include, but are not limited to, the application of
remote sensing to hydrological, geomorphological, ecological, and
atmospheric processes, especially as related to land use, land surface,
and climate change. Regardless of research focus, we wish to hire an
outstanding scientist who will thrive in an interdisciplinary department.
In addition to developing external funding to support research
endeavors, candidates will be expected to teach at the graduate and
undergraduate levels and provide service to the University, Department,
and professional organizations.

appointment start date will be August 25, 2016. Applicants must be on
track to receive a Ph.D. in the relevant field by May 2016 and must hold
a Ph.D. at the time of appointment. Successful candidates will be
expected to teach an introductory course on remote sensing from a
physical basis to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, along
with a follow-on class on remote sensing applications at a similar level.
