Please pass on this job opportunity announcement to your colleagues (apologies
for any cross-postings):

The Department of Physical Sciences at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science
of the College of William&  Mary, located in Gloucester Point, VA, USA, seeks
applicants for tenure-track faculty positions to begin July, 2012.  Successful
candidates will join a department that focuses on continental margin
(especially coastal and estuarine) systems and includes chemical, geological,
and physical oceanography. This union facilitates the synergy needed to address
today’s interdisciplinary research problems, environmental issues, and
challenges.

Applicants with research interests in the broad areas of physical oceanography,
sedimentology, stratigraphy and climate change studies are welcomed, with
preference for research focused in estuarine, coastal, and continental margin
settings.  Candidates with demonstrated excellence in field-oriented research
are encouraged to apply, but they also should be comfortable employing
modeling, experimental, or laboratory approaches.  The successful candidates
will be poised to take advantage of opportunities for interdisciplinary
collaborations that abound at VIMS and the College of William and Mary.
Candidates are especially encouraged to apply who employ quantitative
approaches for understanding natural and anthropogenic processes (at present
and/or during recent geological times) affecting coastal and estuarine
environments.

The successful candidates will be expected to build exemplary research and
publication programs, participate in the educational program, and provide
service to the Commonwealth of Virginia.  The successful candidates should be
capable of teaching physical or geological oceanography at the introductory
graduate level; advanced graduate courses in their specialty; and ideally
courses emphasizing cross-disciplinary approaches and quantitative methods.

For more information see the department
web-pagehttp://www.vims.edu/research/departments/physical/ or contact any
department faculty member directly.  The department web-page includes links to
detailed job descriptions and the electronic application site at jobs.wm.edu,
where requirements for the application package can be found.  For full
consideration, submit application materials by December 1, 2011.  Applications
will be accepted until the positions are filled, however.

The employer is an equal opportunity/affirmative action university.
Applications by persons from under-represented groups are strongly encouraged.
