Purdue University has launched a strong new initiative in Planetary Sciences. Jay Melosh has joined the Purdue Faculty and, together with Andy Freed, Marc Caffee and Brenda Beitler Bowen, has a mandate to expand Planetary Sciences by adding two more faculty and several postdocs over the next two years. This year we seek a broadly based individual for a tenure-track position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, depending upon the candidate?s experience. The successful candidate will be an outstanding researcher with potential for excellence in teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. We seek someone who will compliment our existing strengths in modeling and isotopic cosmochemistry. We especially seek someone with expertise in Planetary Remote Sensing. The department of Earth and Atmospheric sciences presently has outstanding programs in geodynamics, isotope geochemistry, terrestrial climate and extreme weather systems. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in field related to Planetary Science. Salary and benefits are highly competitive. The appointment will begin in August 2010. Candidates are expected to develop a vigorous research program, obtain external funding, supervise graduate students, and teach undergraduate and graduate courses. Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, publication list, and brief descriptions of their planned research program and teaching philosophy to planetarysearch@purdue.edu. Names and contact information for at least three referees must be included in the application. Information on the EAS department can be found at http://www.purdue.edu/eas/. Applications completed by January 15, 2010 will be given full consideration, although the search will continue until the position is filled. Purdue University is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access/Affirmative Action employer fully committed to achieving a diverse workforce.
