Dear colleagues,

The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at the University of Houston (UH) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor in the broad field of Planetary Science. EAS seeks dynamic researchers and educators who would build externally-funded programs that address one or more of the following broad research questions: How did the solar system and Earth originate? How did planetary bodies evolve from their primordial states? And what conditions lead to habitable environments and the emergence of life on Earth?  Specific research interests are open, but preference will be given to applicants who integrate planetary mission data, astromaterials data, dynamical modeling, and/or planetary analog studies.

Successful candidates are expected to build active collaborations within and outside the university, to provide synergy with existing research at UH, to develop externally funded research programs that are internationally recognized, to teach graduate and undergraduate level courses, and to use their research to enhance experiential learning at UH. 

More information about the department can be found at http://www.uh.edu/nsm/earth-atmospheric/
