<div><b>Cluster Hires – Four Assistant Professors in Marine
Microbial Ecology/Microbiology, Marine Geology & Physical
Oceanography</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), in
fulfilling strategic plans for a major expansion, is seeking
applications for four new faculty positions as part of its
three-part mission to conduct interdisciplinary research in
coastal ocean and estuarine science, educate students and
citizens, and provide advisory service to policy makers,
industry, and the public. The School of Marine Science at VIMS
is the graduate school in marine science for the College of
William & Mary. Chartered in 1940, VIMS is currently among
the largest marine research and education centers in the United
States, and employs 55 full-time faculty members, 242 staff, and
enrolls approximately 100 graduate students in master’s and
doctoral programs. There are four academic departments at VIMS:
Biological Sciences, Environmental and Aquatic Animal Health,
Fisheries Science and Physical Sciences. Further information on
the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and the School of
Marine Science may be accessed through the web at: <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.vims.edu">www.vims.edu</a>. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We invite applications for the following tenure-eligible
Assistant Professor positions in the School of Marine Science:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Assistant Professor in Marine/Aquatic Microbiology: </b> Applicants
with research interests in any area of aquatic/marine
microbiology will be considered including those in the following
fields: environmental microbiology, marine microbial genomics,
pathogens of aquatic organisms, microbial ecology, ecology of
human pathogens in aquatic environments, marine biogeochemistry,
and marine microbial natural products. Individuals must possess
experience in current molecular technologies, as well as
classical microbial analytical and culture techniques.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Assistant Professors in Marine Geology</b> (Two
Positions): Applicants with research interests in the broad
areas of sedimentology, stratigraphy and climate change studies
in the context of estuarine, coastal and continental margin
environments are especially encouraged to apply, with a
preference for those who employ quantitative approaches for
understanding the geologic record of natural and anthropogenic
processes affecting these environments. Such approaches may
include, but are not limited to: geophysical data acquisition
and processing, geospatial analysis, geochemistry, and
analytical or numerical modeling.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Assistant Professor in Physical Oceanography</b>:
Applicants with research interests in the broad areas of
coastal or estuarine physical oceanography are encouraged.
Ideally, the candidate should demonstrate excellence in
field-oriented research, but also be comfortable employing
modeling or experimental approaches. The successful candidate
will be poised to take advantage of opportunities for
interdisciplinary collaborations that abound at VIMS, such as
tracking and predicting the distribution of biotic and abiotic
materials (including sediment), and investigating hydrodynamic
effects on biological, chemical, and geological processes</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Qualifications: Candidates should expect to hold earned
doctorates (Ph.D.) at the time of appointment in Microbiology,
Marine Science, or related disciplines. Candidates must have a
strong publication record commensurate with their experience,
with demonstrated potential to maintain an active research
program and provide excellent graduate student teaching and
mentoring. Those eager to engage in cross-disciplinary
research, teaching, and service will be especially welcomed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Responsibilities: The successful candidates will be expected
to lead an active research and publication program, advise and
mentor graduate students, teach courses in their discipline,
participate in institutional governance, and provide service to
the Commonwealth. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Application materials must include: 1) a cover letter
explaining professional education, experience, and suitability
for the position; 2) a full curriculum vitae; 3) research
statement; 4) teaching statement; and 5) the names, addresses
(including titles and institutions), email addresses, and
telephone numbers of five references. All materials must be
submitted electronically in PDF format. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Application materials should be addressed to the Chair of the
appropriate search committee, and will be accepted through our
On-Line Application System at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://jobs.wm.edu">http://jobs.wm.edu</a>. For full
consideration, application materials are due December 1, 2011;
however, applications will be accepted until the positions are
filled.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The College is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
university. Applications by persons from under-represented
groups are strongly encouraged.</div>
