The School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) at Arizona State 
University invites early career scientists and engineers to apply for a 
tenure-track Assistant Professor appointment in the broadly defined 
study of earth surface dynamics. We imagine the successful applicant to 
be someone who has demonstrated proficiency in the use of and/or design 
of space-based observing platforms to investigate the dynamics of the 
lithosphere, asthenosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere or 
biosphere. Preference will be given to applicants who are interested in 
interactions among two or more of these domains. Conventional fields of 
expertise of desirable candidates might include (in alphabetical order) 
atmospheric physics, ecosystem dynamics, geodesy, geodynamics, 
glaciology, hydrology, physical oceanography, or physical volcanology. 
SESE is an intrinsically transdisciplinary academic environment. Thus, 
we are particularly interested in applications from candidates with 
broad research interests, enthusiasm for collaborations that transcend 
field-specific research, and the desire to integrate space-based 
measurements with other scientific methodologies. A hallmark of our 
community is the full intellectual integration of Earth and space 
sciences and engineering, so applicants should give special thought to 
how their interests might expand to include the surface dynamics of 
other planets or the development of space-based sensor platforms.

SESE
 is a rapidly growing academic unit that will expand its activities into
 a new building with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities in Summer 
2012. Arizona State is a dynamic university environment where cross-unit
 collaborations are strongly encouraged. The successful applicant will 
have ample opportunities to develop collaborations with other faculty in
 the natural sciences, the Fulton Schools of Engineering, and the Global
 Institute of Sustainability.

Applications should include: 1) a 
cover letter that includes a description of the applicant’s research and
 teaching interests and experience; 2) a current CV; and 3) the names, 
addresses and telephone numbers of three references. All materials 
should be submitted electronically, in PDF format, to sesenewfac@xxxxxxx.

Application
 deadline is 18 December 2011; if not filled, reviews will continue 
weekly until the search is closed. Arizona State University is an equal 
opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to excellence through 
diversity. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.  ASU's complete
 non-discrimination statement can be found at https://www.asu.edu/titleIX/.
