The Department of Geosciences at Auburn University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor faculty position in Hydrogeology, beginning fall semester 2025. We seek an outstanding interdisciplinary scholar to build an innovative research and teaching program in physical hydrogeology related to the development, function, and feedbacks within the Critical Zone — the part of the Earth system that contributes to the availability and quality of water resources, landform development, and climatic conditions. We expect candidates with this specialty to study feedback and relationships between water in Earth compartments through coupled field, empirical, and/or modeling techniques. The successful candidate would contribute to ongoing research in water quality, climate change, community sustainability, and resilience.


As part of our Geology and Geography undergraduate and graduate programs and our interdisciplinary Earth System Science PhD program, the successful candidate will teach courses in hydrogeology, environmental geology, geo-statistical courses and have the opportunity to develop new courses in their area of expertise.

The successful candidate is expected to develop a rigorous, externally funded research program, publish scholarly work, advise and mentor graduate and undergraduate students, and support land, space, and sea grant missions of Auburn University.


Applications must include: 1) the applicant’s curriculum vitae, 2) copies of transcripts, 3) names and contact information of three professional references, 4) a 2-page cover letter, 5) a 2-3 page statement of research interests, and 6) a 2-page statement of teaching philosophy, experience, and interests.
