Faculty Position in Climate and Global Change

The Department of Geological Sciences, University of Florida,
invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in
climate change research to start Fall 2010.  The appointment is at
the rank of Assistant Professor; however, appointments at the
Associate Professor rank will be considered. We seek an
exceptional scientist to complement existing departmental research

expertise in the broad fields of paleoclimatology,
paleoceanography, paleolimnology, or global climate change,
particularly those who could take advantage of existing stable
isotope facilities
(http://web.geology.ufl.edu/stable_isotopes.html) and would
interact with researchers in other colleges as well as
interdisciplinary institutes and centers at UF. Salary will be
