The Department of Geosciences at the University of Cincinnati invites applications for a tenure track Assistant Professor position in Hydrogeophysics, with an anticipated start date of Fall 2026.
We seek an innovative, interdisciplinary scholar whose research uses geophysical imaging and modeling to explore coupled biological, chemical, and physical processes in the shallow subsurface. The successful candidate will integrate hydrology, geophysics, and critical zone processes to address challenges related to water resources, sustainability, contaminant transport, and subsurface biosphere interactions. Candidates whose work combines field based geophysical observations, computational modeling, and emerging AI driven analysis are especially encouraged to apply.
The Department houses state of the art near surface geophysical instruments, including IRIS Electrical Resistivity Tomography, DualEM and GEM2 electromagnetic induction systems, an industrial drone with high resolution imaging, a 24 channel ES3000 seismograph, and a drone based LiDAR platform. Faculty also have access to the Theis Nash Environmental Monitoring and Modeling Site (TEMMS), a premier research facility with a dense network of wells, piezometers, and water quality sensors, and active collaborations with DOE national laboratories, the EPA, and regional universities. This environment provides exceptional opportunities for field based, computational, and AI enabled hydrogeophysics research with direct relevance to community and societal needs.
Ideal candidates will bring experience with electrical, electromagnetic, or seismic methods in environmental applications, an interest in interdisciplinary collaboration (for example, with biology, public health, or engineering), and the ability to connect small scale hydrogeophysical observations to watershed and landscape processes. Candidates whose work addresses societal challenges such as groundwater remediation, water sustainability, or microbial geophysical coupling are particularly encouraged.
