Job description

Job Summary
The Department in Earth and Environmental Science in the College of Science, at the University of Texas at Arlington, invites applications for an Open Rank (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor) Tenure Track position in the broad area of environmental exposomics as part of larger multi-department omics cluster initiative within the College of Science . We seek a broadly-trained scientist who complements the interdisciplinary nature of the department and college to integrate omic-based approaches with environmental science. Relevant research areas for this hire would include: 1. machine learning of multi-dimensional environmental and health data to discover the etiology and pathology of chronic diseases; 2. study of collective effects of environment (physical, chemical, biological exposure, climate change) on organisms, including One Health remote sensing (land changes, pathogens, zoonotic disease); 3.exposomic global health data analytics (infectious disease, climate change) 4.Computational models for processing multi-OMICs data (overlay data from different strata of OMICs and environmental epidemiological investigation); 5.Omic (epigenetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, etc.) signatures of environmental exposure and their impacts on health. Opportunities for collaboration exist within the department in the areas of geosciences, environmental chemistry and toxicology, environmental health, climate change, atmospheric chemistry, and with other research groups in the College of Science in the areas of genomics, proteomics, biochemistry, and data science. The ideal candidate would add to existing strengths in omic-scale approaches within the department and college, and benefit from existing and planned expansions of related infrastructure at UTA , including the North Texas Genome Center, the Shimadzu Center for Advanced Analytical Chemistry, and the Division of Data Science. Additional resources in the department include the Shimadzu Institute for Research and Technologies such as the Center for Environmental, Forensics, and Material Science and an ultraclean laboratory within the Earth and Environmental Science building.

Essential Duties And Responsibilities
Standard research expectations for faculty include publishing research in peer-reviewed journals, acquiring research grants, and advising undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs in research. Startup packages are provided to enable new faculty to jump-start their research group in advance of winning research grants. Faculty are expected to continuously improve their teaching, and UTA offers Learning and Development Resources as well as opportunities with the STEM Education Research Collaboratorium and Resource Center. Service duties include departmental committee work (such as organizing colloquia, graduate student admissions, or faculty hiring), service to the university, service to the community, and national service to research and education infrastructure. Faculty often serve on national review panels, referee journal articles, and engage in public education and outreach.

Required Qualifications
Applicants should have a doctoral degree in environmental science or in the geosciences. We seek an individual with an established research and mentorship record who will develop new and expand existing collaborations among faculty, researchers, and students within and outside the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, as part of the Omics-related cluster initiative in the College of Sciences.
