2. Field Surface Water Hydrologist/Groundwater Hydrogeologist
Education requirements:
Candidates with a BA/BS (minimum) in geology, watershed science, environmental science, or engineering and/or an advanced degree in hydrogeology or surface water hydrology are encouraged to apply.
Requirements:
TerranearPMC seeks to fill field hydrologist and hydrogeologist positions at our Los Alamos, New Mexico office. The primary duties will be to collect groundwater and surface water samples in support of the watershed monitoring program at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Additional duties include supporting the planning, coordination, and implementation of extensive watershed-wide groundwater sampling campaigns or the daily prioritization and implementation of surface water sampling, gage station operations, and erosion control inspections in response to storm events and permit compliance requirements. Groundwater is sampled from alluvial, intermediate and regional aquifer wells using a variety of dedicated and portable sampling systems. Field work requires operating and maintaining various field instruments such as water level recorders, data loggers, pressure transducers, and water quality probes. Surface water field work involves inspection and maintenance of erosion control measures and maintenance of storm water, surface water, and gage-station automated sampling equipment. Work is year-round and 90% outdoors. Many locations are remote and require hiking or four-wheel drive access. There are multiple openings for this position including both full time and limited term seasonal appointments.

6. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN OCEANOGRAPHY (2 Vacancies)
The University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and the Department of Marine Sciences in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences invite applications for two nine-month, tenure-track faculty positions resident at the coastal campus in Savannah, GA. Successful candidates will be interdisciplinary, self-motivated and interested in pursuing innovative research and education in a highly supportive academic environment. We are particularly interested in applicants engaging in interdisciplinary research that advances the understanding of fundamental oceanographic questions in the following areas:
Chemical Oceanography—We seek candidates whose area of expertise could include (but are not limited to) organic geochemistry, sedimentary or water column biogeochemistry, or carbon and coupled elemental cycles.
Geological Oceanography—We seek candidates who examine coastal and marine sedimentary systems using field-based or modeling approaches. Applicants with expertise in any sub-discipline of marine geology will be considered, although specializations in sediment dynamics, impacts of climate change, or who work at the interface between geology and engineering are particularly encouraged to apply.
Appointments are expected to be made at the Assistant Professor level, but consideration will also be given to exceptional applicants seeking appointment at the Associate Professor level. Candidates to be considered for Associate Professor must meet the Associate criteria detailed in the Department of Marine Science Promotion and Tenure guidelines. A Ph.D. in Oceanography or a related discipline is required. Preference will be given to applicants with at least 6 months of postdoctoral experience, as well as a record that provides evidence of scholarship, synergistic activities, and the potential to obtain extramural funding. Candidates will be expected to teach undergraduates and graduates, including advanced courses in their area of specialization.

7. Faculty Positions available in the School of Environmental Science and Engineering
The Southern University of Science and Technology (known as SUSTech or SUSTC) (http://www.sustc.edu.cn/en) was founded in 2011 with public funding from Shenzhen City. A thriving metropolis of 20 million people bordering Hong Kong, Shenzhen has often been referred to as the “Silicon Valley of China” with strong telecommunication, biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors. The goal of SUSTech is to become a top-tier international university that excels in interdisciplinary research, talent development and knowledge discovery. English is the language of instruction.
The School of Environmental Science and Engineering at SUSTech was established in May 2015 to provide a new platform for performing cutting-edge research and for training a new generation of environmental scientists, engineers and managers who are interdisciplinary, innovative and global-thinking. Currently the school has 18 full time faculty members (http://ese.sustc.edu.cn/en/) with 30 or more tenure-track/tenured positions to be filled. In addition to a generous startup package to each tenured or tenure track faculty position, the school was recently awarded a 3-year grant of 50 million RMB (~7 million USD) to strengthen its 5 core areas of research. Moreover, the school is in line to receive 120 million RMB (~18 million USD) for research instrument capability development.
Applications are invited for faculty positions at all ranks. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, water pollution and treatment, environmental (soil, groundwater, ecosystem) remediation and restoration, hydrology and water resources engineering, biogeochemistry, environmental microbiology, atmospheric chemistry, air pollution control, air quality engineering, solid waste treatment and utilization, environmental health risk assessment, environmental health interventions, remote sensing of the environment, global change, and environmental management.
