The Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX is seeking applications for a tenure-track position in chemical oceanography. The position will be funded for nine months per year, to begin by August 2013. A Ph.D. in chemical oceanography, chemistry, or a closely related field is required, and post-doctoral experience is preferred.

The position includes teaching (undergraduate and graduate), research and service, and the successful candidate will be expected to establish an ongoing research program. This should contribute to and make use of the technical expertise available at the Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (GERG; see www.gerg.tamu.edu). The research effort should be experimentally based and could focus on one of the following areas: biogeochemical cycling of organic carbon, inorganic carbon and associated elements; trace element and/or radioisotope cycling in the marine environment; chemical oceanographic aspects of climate change; utilization of modern chemical instrumental techniques and novel chemical approaches; sensor technology; international, multi-disciplinary chemical oceanography programs; development of innovative regional investigations of global chemical processes; and application of chemical techniques and technologies for regional coastal observing.

Women and minority groups are especially encouraged to apply. Applications, containing a curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, contact information for at least three references, and up to four reprints, should be sent to MIchele Beal, College of Geosciences, Texas A&M University (michelebeal@tamu.edu). Additional information may be obtained from Dr. Thomas Bianchi, Department of Oceanography, Texas A&M University (tbianchi@tamu.edu). The department's website is http://ocean.tamu.edu.
