****************************************************************************************
Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Isotope Geochemistry (JOB# 102336)
The School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in isotope geochemistrywith a specialization in igneous or metamorphic processes and the ability to teach undergraduate and graduate-level courses in both fields to begin August 2013.
Candidates must possess a Ph.D. in geological sciences. Additional required qualifications include: 1) a record of research and published scholarship in isotope geochemistry and/or geochronology, 2) capability for quality undergraduate and graduate teaching, 3) research interests complementary to existing strengths in cosmochemistry, low-temperature isotope geochemistry, and noble gas geochemistry and geochronology, and 4) expertise in radiogenic isotope geochemistry. Desired qualifications include: 1) a research focus on terrestrial materials and 2) a deep understanding of the connection between isotopic data and the nature of thesamples analyzed.
ASU contains an extensive geochemical infrastructure, including multi-collectorICPMS, isotope ratio-MS, He- & Ar-MS, and secondary ion-MS as well as a new FEG electron probe. Diamond cell, multi-anvil cell, and piston cylinder high-pressure devices, state of the art high-resolution transmission electron microscopes, and tandem accelerator analytical capabilities are also available at ASU. Cleanroom laboratory space in a state-of-the-art research building is also available to support new analytical equipment. In addition to isotope geochemistry, related current research at SESE and its collaborating departments includes studies in cosmochemistry, astrobiology and geobiology, metamorphic, igneous, and mantle petrology, volcanology, surface processes,tectonics, and high-pressure mineral physics. The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, conduct publishable research, and participate in unit, university, and professional service as appropriate with rank.
To apply, submit the following materials as a single attachment to an e-mail addressed to sesenewfac@xxxxxxx: 1) a curriculum vita, 2) a letter outlining research program, teaching philosophy, and how the applicant's experience fits the area(s) of expertise listed above, and 3) the names, positions, and contact information of three references.
Application deadline is December 1, 2012; if not filled, every two weeks thereafter until search is closed. Arizona State University is an affirmative Action, equal opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Background check is required for employment. https://www.asu.edu/titleiX/.
Faculty position in Geophysics- Open rank (JOB# 102337)
The School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) invites applications for an open-rank faculty position in geophysics to begin August 2013. Rank will becommensurate with experience. Minimum qualifications include: (1) a Ph.D inGeophysics or related field, (2) at least two years postdoctoral research experience (or equivalent) in the field of Earth (or Earth and planetary) interior studies at the time of the appointment, (3) an established publication track record in Earth (or Earth and planetary) interior research, and (4) demonstrated expertise in geophysical methods, techniques, and/or theory applied towards the continually growing geophysical datasets. The School is particularly interested in candidates with a strong track record in seismology. We desire a candidate with the abilities to (1) work closely with existing geophysics faculty (seismology, geodynamics, and mineral physics), as well as develop collaborations with other research programs in SESE such as geochemistry, planetary science, surface processes, systems engineering, tectonics, and volcanology and (2) address fundamental questions in the structure, dynamics, and evolution of Earth and planetary interiors, particularly those who seek to bridge connectivity between deep and shallow processes (examples include how deep mantle processes relate to the evolution of the lithosphere or the fluid envelopes of Earth and other planets). SESE currently hosts the EarthScope National Office. See http://sese.asu.edu and http://geophysics.asu.edu for more information.
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 December 1, 2012; if not filled, reviews will continue weekly until search is closed. The successful candidate's appointment may begin as early as August 15, 2013.

Faculty Position in Space Systems Engineering (JOB# 102335)
The School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor with desired expertise in space systems and technology, to begin August 2013. The School is particularly interested in candidates with expertise in: instrument design and assembly, small satellite development including cubesats and nanosatellites, highly reliable software and systems development for space applications, sensor development for extreme environments including space qualification of sensors, hazard detection andavoidance, autonomous systems and technologies for robotic/human exploration. Spaceflight hardware and/or mission operations experience is strongly desired. The successful candidate will connect science drivers and engineering solutions - a competent familiarity with both sides of the development endeavor is preferred.
Established in 2006, the School of Earth and Space Exploration (“SESE") is the focal point for earth and space science at Arizona State University, one of the largest and fastest growing institutions of higher learning in the United States. An essential part of the SESE mission is to design, develop, and deploy new technologies to enable scientific exploration in space. SESE faculty also benefit from a variety of state-of-the-art facilities on the Tempe AZ campus, including high-bay assembly clean rooms, in the new ISTB 4 building. An earned doctorate in engineering or science is required. The requirements for this position include: (1) a Ph.D. in Space Systems Engineering or a closely related discipline, (2) evidence of scholarly contributions in space systems and technology, and (3) a commitment to quality teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. 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 in PDF format to sesenewfac@xxxxxxx Application deadline is 1 December 2012; if not filled, reviews will continue weekly until search is closed.
