Position Overview
The Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) at the University of Kansas (KU) is seeking a physical hydrogeologist to develop and lead a research program of international stature using both traditional and cutting-edge aquifer characterization and assessment techniques to investigate groundwater resource questions of relevance to Kansas. Specific areas of research expertise may include aquifer characterization, analysis of aquifer responses to anthropogenic and natural stresses, hydrogeophysics, and geostatistics. While these are areas of potential focus, demonstrated research excellence and future research potential are more important than the candidate's specific area of specialization in physical hydrogeology.
Scientists at the KGS are state-funded, faculty-equivalent academic staff with sabbatical eligibility. Scientific staff are expected to develop research programs that are of international stature and highly relevant to Kansas, as outlined in the KGS promotion procedures. Scientific staff also typically have courtesy appointments with one or more academic departments providing them the opportunity to teach and serve as advisors of graduate research if desired. We anticipate hiring at the Assistant or Associate Scientist level, depending on qualifications.
