The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at McGill University invites applications for up to two tenure-track positions in evolution of sedimentary systems. One of the hires will be appointed the T.H. Clark Chair in Sedimentary and Petroleum Geology. Our preference is to make the appointment at the Assistant Professor level; however, outstanding candidates at higher ranks are encouraged to apply.
Applicants with interdisciplinary research interests, including but not limited to sedimentology, geophysics, tectonics, landscape processes, earth surface dynamics, basin architecture and evolution, quantitative geomorphology, and paleoenvironments, are encouraged to apply. We particularly seek individuals who employ integrative approaches to sedimentary systems through fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and/or numerical modeling, as well as individuals who address the complex interactions and feedbacks among physical, chemical, and biological processes of sedimentary systems.
The appointees will establish an externally funded research program, mentor graduate students, and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in their respective fields. A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment and post-doctoral experience is desirable. Salary will be commensurate with experience and standing in the community. Applicants should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and a statement of research interests and teaching philosophy. Candidates also should arrange for three confidential letters of recommendation to be sent under separate cover by the candidate's referees. Applications and letters should be sent to: Professor John Stix, Chair, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, McGill University, 3450 University Street, Montreal, Quebec H3A 2A7, Canada. The anticipated start date for the position is July 1st, 2009. Review of the applications will begin on January 15th, 2009, and continue until the position is filled. Information about the department can be found at http://www.eps.mcgill.ca.
McGill University is committed to equity in employment and diversity. It welcomes applications from indigenous peoples, visible minorities, ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, women, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities and others who may contribute to further diversification. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, priority will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada.
