The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences in the College of Sciences
at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) invites applications for
TWO tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor rank starting in Fall
2023, in the broadly defined area of Earth and Planetary System Science.
The successful candidatesâ?? research will complement and expand upon one or
more areas of departmental expertise in water cycle science, geomorphology,
geoinformatics, geology and geophysics, volcanology, sedimentology and
stratigraphy, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, polar and climate sciences.

*Assistant Professor â?? Planetary Systems Modeling*. We seek candidates who
apply geospatial data (in situ, remote sensing, experimental, numerical
simulations) and system modeling approaches to answer fundamental
scientific questions related to the evolution and coupling of lithosphere,
hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere and atmosphere, in the Earth and
Planetary systems. This position will provide research leadership in this
emerging area that has broad scope for cross-disciplinary collaboration
with faculty in this department or other departments and colleges. Research
interests in associated sustainability issues will be valued.

*Assistant Professor â?? Planetary Science*. Research areas of interest
include, but are not limited to,
astrobiology (e.g., extremophile behavior, origin and evolution of life on
Earth, and the search for life in the Universe), astromineralogy (e.g.,
evolution of minerals, mineralogy of meteorites and other astromaterials),
planetary surface processes (e.g., aeolian transport, impact cratering,
space weathering, and volcanism), and planetary interiors (e.g. geophysical
and geochemical modeling). Planetary analog site investigations, using
field, experimental, and/or modeling approaches, are encouraged. Research
interests on associated sustainability issues will be beneficial, for
example microbiological applications in environmental science, remote
sensing applied to mineral resource prospecting, or physical process
modeling applied to geohazards.

A Ph.D. degree in Planetary Science, Geoscience, or a related field that
aligns with our department research and teaching agenda, is required.
Successful applicants should have a demonstrated potential to conduct
independent research funded by competitive grants, to direct graduate
student research at the M.S. and Ph.D. levels, and effectively teach across
the curriculum at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The successful
candidates should demonstrate their ability to work collegially with
faculty and students from diverse cultural backgrounds and support the
Universityâ??s commitment as an R1, urban serving, Hispanic thriving
discovery enterprise deeply committed to student success and academic
excellence including growing doctoral education. Competitive recruitment
packages, state-of-the-art research facilities, and modern laboratory space
are available.

 If candidates wish to apply to both positions, they should submit separate
applications. Review of applications for both positions will begin on *November
1, 2022* and continue until filled. Incomplete applications will not be
reviewed. Applicants selected for interviews must show proof that they will
be eligible and qualified to work in the United States by the time of hire.

the policy of The University of Texas at San Antonio to promote and ensure
equal employment opportunity for all individuals regardless of race, color,
religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age,
