HARVARD UNIVERSITY
DEPARTMENT OF EARTH & PLANETARY SCIENCES
SOLID EARTH GEOPHYSICS AND PLANETARY SCIENCES

The Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at Harvard University invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant or associate professor level (untenured) in the fields of solid Earth geophysics and planetary sciences. We seek exceptional scientists and educators who work with theoretical, laboratory or observational approaches, and have a broad view of Earth and planetary systems. We anticipate hiring one candidate in each of the subject areas, but also encourage applicants who contribute to both disciplines.

Candidates should submit an application form and supporting material electronically. The supporting material should include a statement of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information (including email addresses) of three references. To apply, visit: http://www.eps.harvard.edu/jobs.php.

Review of applications will begin on January 5, 2009. We particularly encourage applications from or nominations of women and minorities. Harvard University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. For more information about the Department, please visit www.eps.harvard.edu.

Stonehenge
The Black Sea "Noah's Flood" hypothesis

Yellowstone's "supervolcano" is about to erupt cataclysmically
What killed the neanderthals - climate change or human competition?
