Dear Colleagues,


The School of the Coastal Environment at Coastal Carolina University invites applications for two positions, an Assistant Professor and a Lecture in Marine Science. Please see below for more details.


Assistant Professor in Marine Science: The School of the Coastal Environment at Coastal Carolina University invites applications for a nine-month tenure track assistant professor position in the Department of Marine Science to begin in August 2021. Applicants with expertise in any sub-discipline of coastal geology are invited to apply. We are especially interested in candidates who specialize in coastal geomorphology and process modeling. This position will be expected to teach introductory and upper-level undergraduate courses as well as graduate courses in coastal and marine geology. The applicant is expected to develop a viable externally funded research program in their specialty that actively involves graduate and undergraduate students. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in marine science or related field with post-doctoral experience preferred.


Coastal Carolina University (CCU) is rapidly expanding and building upon a historic emphasis on the marine sciences. Located in the lower coastal plain of northern South Carolina, CCU is surrounded by large areas of natural and anthropogenically impacted wetlands and marine environments. Marine Science, one of CCU’s largest departments, offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. We are committed to collaborative, interdisciplinary research and education. We seek a highly motivated individual with a commitment to education and research at both undergraduate and graduate levels who embraces CCU’s teacher-scholar model and provides active learning experiences in the classroom as well as field settings. Within the School of the Coastal Environment, the Burroughs and Chapin Center for Marine and Wetlands Study maintains an array of instrumentation for broad pursuits of geological and geophysical research in coastal geology, seafloor and sub-bottom mapping, hydrogeology, drone-based LIDAR and hydrodynamic observation and modeling. The Gupta College of Science also includes an emerging engineering program that offers the potential for collaboration with faculty engaged in related issues. The University manages the Anne Tilghman Boyce Coastal Reserve, an undeveloped complex of ocean frontage, fresh and saltwater marshes, tidal creeks, and upland woods on Waites Island that provides teaching and research opportunities.


Candidates should submit a letter of application, a current CV, copies of all transcripts, three references, and a statement of teaching philosophy and research interests electronically at: http://jobs.coastal.edu. Review of applications will begin January 15th and continue until the position is filled.


Lecture in Marine Science: The School of the Coastal Environment at Coastal Carolina University invites applications for a Lecturer position in the Department of Marine Science. This position is a time limited nine-month appointment with benefits and will begin August 2021. The Department of Marine Science is committed to collaborative, interdisciplinary education and research. We seek a highly motivated individual with a commitment to undergraduate teaching.


Applicants must have a M.S. or Ph.D. in Marine Science or a related marine field. The lecturer position may teach introductory marine science laboratory courses and may assist with the coordination of those courses as well as supervision of graduate teaching assistants. Additional teaching responsibilities may include a combination of introductory lectures and upper level laboratories in the marine science core curriculum. Preference will be given to applicants qualified to teach introductory and upper level marine geology lecture and laboratory courses. The School strongly supports the prospect of this position working with faculty and helping develop innovative laboratory and field experiences for our students and student learning beyond the classroom benefiting from the University’s location and access to coastal environments.
