Hello all,
Two positions to advertise: Assistant Professor in Aquatic Biogeochemistry
and Water Quality, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and
Assistant Professor of Vegetation Data Science, University of California,
Santa Barbara. Deadlines November 1 and 15, respectively.
Make sure to vote in the ESA and local/state elections if you can. Cheers.
Aquatic Biogeochemistry details:
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences in the
College of ACES at the University of Illinois Urbana – Champaign seeks an
Assistant Professor in Aquatic Biogeochemistry and Water Quality, expected
to begin August 16, 2019. In addition to developing an extramurally funded
research program, the successful candidate will be expected to teach
undergraduate and graduate courses. A Ph.D. in an appropriate field is
required at the time of appointment and postdoctoral experience is
preferred. For full consideration all requested application information
must be received by November 1, 2018, however interviews may begin prior to
the close date. Please visit

Vegetation Data Science details:
The Department of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara
invites applications
for a tenure-track faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor
with an anticipated start
date of July 1, 2019. The Department is looking for exceptional individuals
with particular
emphasis in the area of Vegetation Data Science. We seek a highly creative
and
interdisciplinary scholar whose research exploits large spatio-temporal
data sets such as those
coming from continental and global scale environmental data networks and
observatories (e.g.,
FluxNet, PhenoCam network, NEON, US National Phenology Network) and/or
state of the art
geospatial data, such as hyperspectral remote sensing (e.g., NEON—AOP,
forthcoming
ENMAP, HESUI, EMIT). The work should extract insight from environmental
data sets at scale
using novel computational and algorithmic approaches to environmental data
science (e.g.,
machine learning, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and related
methods). Research areas
of particular interest include (1) biosphere-atmosphere interactions, with
emphasis on the role of
terrestrial vegetation in environmental change; (2) monitoring and
predicting vegetation
responses to disturbances such as climate, drought, fire, pathogens, or
invasive species; and
(3) quantifying plant diversity and its impact on ecosystem resilience and
biogeochemical
cycling. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an
extramurally-funded research
program in the focal area of her/his expertise, to mentor graduate
students, and to teach
undergraduate and graduate courses in their area of expertise. The
University is especially
interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence
of the academic
community through research, teaching and service as appropriate to the
position. Applications
received by November 15, 2018 will be given priority consideration, but the
position will
remain open until filled. To apply please visit
