TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN HYDROGEOPHYSICS, DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL AND ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING
The University of Wyoming invites applications for a tenure-track position in hydrogeophysics at the assistant professor level. This is a joint position (#4866) between the Department of Geology and Geophysics and the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering. We seek a hydrogeophysicist with expertise in the development and use of near-surface geophysical techniques for hydrological problems and interested in integrative research. Of particular interest are emerging applications in electrical and electromagnetic geophysics such as complex resistivity and magnetic resonance sounding.
This position is part of a growing emphasis on watershed science exemplified by the new Wyoming Center for Environmental Hydrology and Geophysics (WyCEHG; uwyo.edu/wycehg). This interdisciplinary, NSF-funded center houses new facilities dedicated to near-surface geophysics and surface/subsurface hydrology. The successful hire will have an earned PhD in geophysics, civil engineering, or a closely related field at the time of appointment, will have the potential to develop an internationally recognized, externally funded research program, will integrate his/her research with the goals of WyCEHG and will provide academic support to the Ph.D. Program in Hydrology (WRESE; uwyo.edu/wrese).
