The Department of Geological Sciences at Indiana University, Bloomington, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the Assistant Professor level specializing in analytical geochemistry. We seek an individual whose research centers on the use of multi-collector ICP-MS to address fundamental questions in the geosciences. Preference will be given to candidates whose interests complement existing departmental expertise in areas of isotopic and molecular geochemistry, hydrogeology and mineralogy, and strengthen and augment current research programs in studies of the evolution and history of Earth and/or planetary systems. Our instrumental laboratories for biogeochemistry and analytical and environmental geochemistry will move to a new multidisciplinary science building scheduled for completion in June 2009, which has space designated for an ICP-MS facility.

Review of applications will begin on March 15, 2008 and will continue until a suitable candidate is recruited. All enquiries and applications should be addressed to Simon Brassell, Professor and Chair, Department of Geological Sciences, 1001 E. 10th street, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405-1403 (simon@indiana.edu). Please submit a letter of application, and a complete vita, with contact information and the names of at least three referees. Indiana University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, and encourages applications from women and minority candidates.
