University of Alaska Fairbanks - tenure-track, full-time Assistant Professor
Isotopers welcome - see below.
The School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS) at the University of
Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) invites applications for a tenure-track, full-time
Assistant Professor in either Chemical or Geological Oceanography with a
primary interest in marine biogeochemistry. The position is based in
Fairbanks, Alaska.
Alaska's marine regions and ecosystems offer phenomenal opportunities for
research. The applicant should be interested in interdisciplinary marine
research, preferably in collaborative programs in the northern North
Pacific, Bering Sea and/or Arctic Ocean regions.
Applications are encouraged from creative individuals with strong
scientific and academic expertise who will complement the existing faculty
at SFOS. The successful candidate will be expected to teach graduate and
undergraduate classes and build an externally-funded, field-oriented
research program. SFOS anticipates receiving and operating the Alaska
Region Research Vessel (ARRV) within the next three years. Candidates
should consider how their research could be conducted at sea utilizing
this resource. Candidates should be enthusiastic about teaching, and will
be expected to teach core and specialty oceanography courses and to mentor
graduate students. SFOS faculty are expected to provide public service to
the nation, state, and local communities by serving on advisory committees
and participating in other university and community activities.
UAF is Alaska’s research university. Campus facilities provide
state-of-the-art instrumentation in support of research (e.g. Alaska
Stable Isotope Facility: www.uaf.edu/water/ASIF, Advanced Instrumentation
Lab: www.uaf.edu/ail, Core Facility for Nucleic Acid Analysis:
www.core.uaf.edu/). SFOS has over 60 faculty at the various locations and
over 125 graduate students engaged in thesis research in Alaska waters and
throughout the world (www.sfos.uaf.edu). This hire is part of our vision
to strengthen our fisheries and marine science programs in the school. We
added seven new faculty members in 2008 and expect to add several
additional faculty during the coming year. Additional information about
the position can be found on the SFOS website at
www.sfos.uaf.edu/employment.
Qualified applicants must possess a Ph.D. in oceanography or related field
from an accredited university by the time of hire, must be proficient in
English, have university-level teaching ability, and have a strong
research and publication record appropriate to their experience and date
of degree. Post-doctoral experience is highly desirable. Questions about
