The Vanderbilt University Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences invites applications for a Tenure Track position in the broad field of Critical Zone Science at the rank of Assistant Professor. This faculty position presents an opportunity to join a productive and collegial department at a highly ranked private R1-research university. We seek an individual aimed at the highest standards of scholarship in teaching and research at both the undergraduate and graduate (PhD) levels, and who would be drawn to interact with a diverse, interdisciplinary faculty and student body in the Earth and Environmental Sciences and related fields. The position is effective for the Fall 2025 semester.

The desired concentration of study centers on Earth’s Critical Zone, defined as the planet’s veneer of soil, water, plants, and atmosphere that sustains life and its principal resources. We invite candidates whose research focuses on any aspect of Critical Zone science, including but not limited to hydrology, geomorphology, chemical weathering, biogeochemistry, and ecology in the context of the Critical Zone. The successful candidate will engage in robust interdisciplinary teaching and scholarship within the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department and across the Vanderbilt campus.

Additionally, the successful candidate will be able to contribute to Vanderbilt’s vibrant interdisciplinary programs and initiatives, including the program in Climate and Environmental Studies and the Center for Sustainability, Energy, and Climate. Vanderbilt faculty engage in high impact research, collaborating with colleagues across the US and the globe. The Earth and Environmental Sciences Department also fosters ties across Nashville and the state of Tennessee through collaborations with Tennessee State University, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Nashville Metro Parks, and Tennessee State Parks.
