1. Faculty Position in Faults, Fluids, and Fluid-Rock Interactions
The Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at Cornell University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position with core expertise in geological, geochemical, geophysical, or geohydrological fundamentals as applied to subsurface fluid flow, fluid-rock interaction, and/or faulting. This position is part of a multi-departmental cluster hire in subsurface energy systems. The ideal candidate will apply these fundamentals in innovative research relevant to fields including geothermal energy, carbon sequestration, hydrocarbon systems and induced seismicity, as well as to natural earth phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, mineralization and hydrochemistry. Scientists with expertise that is either observational or computational in nature are equally encouraged to apply.
The College of Engineering maintains programs in engineering, Earth sciences, hydrology and material sciences, providing an ideal setting for rigorous interdisciplinary research. Other opportunities for cross-disciplinary interactions include the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future, the Cornell Energy Institute and the Cornell Center for Materials Research.
Applicants must hold a Doctorate in an appropriate field, have a demonstrated ability to conduct outstanding research, and show promise for attracting external research support. The successful candidate will also be a committed educator, enthusiastic about teaching and supervising students at all levels in research. We anticipate filling the position at the Assistant Professor level, but applications at the Associate level will be considered.

2.Postdoctoral Scientist in Fluid Dynamics
The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute (GFDI) at Florida State University is seeking a postdoctoral scientist. This position will involve a few existing projects, all fundamentally related to fluid dynamics and opportunities to develop in new directions. Applicants should have experience with laboratory methods and familiarity with flow-visualization techniques.
Experience with numerical modeling would also be desirable, though not required. The position requires teaching a one-semester course on laboratory demonstrations and techniques for geophysical flows. In addition, part of the teaching and research effort will be directed towards a new program on wildland fire dynamics.
GFDI is an interdisciplinary institute with faculty in Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, and Scientific Computing among others. The postdoctoral scientist will have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty across a range of disciplines.
