The Department of Earth Sciences at Rice University is seeking a colleague with interests in processes that regulate sediment supply and dispersal in sedimentary basins (e.g. eustasy, climate change, subsidence, and tectonics) at a range of time scales, in the evolution of 3-D structural and stratigraphic architecture in sedimentary basins, and applications to energy resources. We particularly encourage women and minority candidates to apply.

Successful candidates are expected to supervise graduate research and teach courses for undergraduate and graduate students. Details about the department and its facilities can be found at http://earthscience.rice.edu.

The appointment will be made at the assistant professor level. Applications received by February 1, 2012, will receive the fullest attention.

Please send a CV, research and teaching statements, and names of five references to: Search Committee Chair, Earth Science Department, MS-126, Rice University, PO Box 1892, Houston, TX 77251-1892 geol@rice.edu.
