Brian Jicha is a post doc for Clark this year. He 
didn't get a job.  He is a terrific researcher, 
but I suspect that his reserved  personality 
hurts him on interviews.  I sent him your ad, but 
if you are interested, you might want to follow 
up.

>Dear List,
>
>Please inform interested parties of two open 
>faculty positions at the University of Puerto 
>Rico, Mayaguez (see formal advertisements 
>below). Our official advertisements will appear 
>in EOS in the next few weeks.
>
>A few quick points I would like to emphasize-
>
>(1) Both positions are regular faculty, 
>full-time, tenure track positions. One is for a 
>research oriented faculty member, the other is 
>for a teaching oriented faculty member.
>
>(2) This may be of particular interest to those 
>seeking a spousal hire, as the target starting 
>date for both positions is August 2007.
>
>(3) The research position is advertised as 
>'open field', meaning that qualified persons 
>from any discipline of geology can (and are 
>encouraged to) apply. However, I send this 
>advert. to ISOGEOCHEM because one of the 
>existing strength areas that we wish complement 
>is geochemistry. In particular we encourage 
>those who use applications of stable isotopes to 
>address problems in areas of low-temperature 
>geochemistry to apply. This includes (but is 
>certainly not limited to) applications in 
>climate, diagenesis, paleothermometry, corals, 
>sedimentary records, hydrology, environment, 
>etc. The Geology Department houses a GV Isoprime 
>magnetic sector CF IRMS, Eurovector EA (w/ LAS), 
>a micromill sampler, and other devices. 
>Applicants in the area of low-T geochemistry who 
>have demonstrated research records/ operational 
>experience with the above IRMS are strongly 
>encouraged to apply.
>
>(4) The teaching position is open to all 
>qualified applicants with a demonstrated 
>teaching record who hold a PhD in a 
>geology-related field.
