The School of Marine Science and Policy (SMSP) seeks to hire a coastal geologist with research interests in geological processes occurring within tidal wetlands, beaches, barrier islands, estuaries, and shallow marine environments. Additional areas of interest include coastal resiliency, geohazards, geospatial and deep learning analytics. SMSP offers graduate programs in Marine Biosciences, Marine Policy, Oceanography, and Physical Ocean Science & Engineering and an undergraduate major in Marine Science. SMSP is situated on the main campus in Newark and the coastal campus in Lewes, which together offer convenient access to a variety of coastal and estuarine environments in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Preferred candidates would integrate field observations with laboratory analyses and/or numerical modeling to examine the evolution of coastal sedimentary systems. This position is complementary to existing research expertise in physical oceanography and geochemistry in SMSP, coastal hydrology, and geophysics, and geochemistry in the Department of Earth Sciences and the Delaware Geological Survey and with coastal processes in the Center for Applied Coastal Research. The successful candidate will be contributing to the undergraduate and graduate teaching mission of SMSP by teaching courses in their area of expertise as well as general oceanography and field-oriented courses. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and maintain a robust independent and externally funded research program, support graduate students, and contribute to interdisciplinary research activities and service missions of SMSP. Candidates may be considered for appointment at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.

A PhD (or equivalent) is required in earth or ocean science, coastal processes, marine science or other related field. Successful candidates are expected to have demonstrated excellence in research and a dedicated interest in high quality teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
