We are interested in a dynamic educator and researcher who can build an externally funded program through strong links to the international ocean science and global change communities. Preference will be given to applicants who can contribute to the development of a new program in global sustainability and can build cross-disciplinary programs involving undergraduate and graduate students that complement the University of Rochester's existing programs in climate change, geodynamic-climate interactions, geohazards, and Earth and planetary evolution. See http://www.ees.rochester.edu for more information about the Department's strengths in climate science, geochemistry, geophysics, petrology, sedimentology, and tectonics.
