Assistant Professor – Geochemistry and Climate Systems Engineering (CSEi)
About The Position
The Department of the Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in broadly defined geochemistry. The successful candidate will conduct research that makes significant contributions to climate systems engineering, hold a faculty appointment in the Department of the Geophysical Sciences, and be a member of the Climate Systems Engineering initiative. The initiative is making multiple faculty hires spanning open-system carbon removal, sunlight reflection methods, and interventions to limit the loss of glacial ice. Relevant expertise may include mineral dissolution and weathering kinetics, carbonate chemistry and alkalinity cycling, mineral carbonation, ocean or soil biogeochemistry, trace metal and nutrient cycling, or subglacial water-rock interaction. Applicants need not have previously worked on climate systems engineering. Because the field is inherently interdisciplinary, the department seeks candidates with a track record of collaboration beyond their discipline. The position is benefits-eligible.
Requirements
- Completion of all requirements for a doctoral degree prior to appointment.
- A track record of collaboration beyond the candidate's discipline.
Nice To Haves
- Expertise in mineral dissolution and weathering kinetics, carbonate chemistry and alkalinity cycling, mineral carbonation, ocean or soil biogeochemistry, trace metal and nutrient cycling, or subglacial water-rock interaction.
