FACULTY POSITION IN MARINE SCIENCE
The University of Southern Mississippi - Department of Marine Science
seeks applicants for a tenure-track position at either the assistant or
associate level, depending upon qualifications.
Appointment date is July 1, 2007. Minimum qualifications: Doctorate
at time of appointment in aquatic remote sensing with a strong focus on
coastal and oceanic remote sensing using various sensors and platforms
(e.g., SeaWiFS, MODIS, hyperspectral sensors, LIDAR, satellite and
airborne). Demonstrated expertise and familiarity with radiative
transfer and optical theory are desirable. Opportunities exist to
participate in the department's Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar
project (www.czmil.org).

Individuals who can complement the
department's existing strengths, collaborate with other research
organizations at the Stennis Space Center and take advantage of the
growing community of expertise on the Gulf Coast in applications of
LIDAR remote sensing and LIDAR/Hyperspectral data fusion are especially
encouraged to apply. Teaching duties will include undergraduate and
graduate teaching and course development in ocean remote sensing and
related areas.

The DMS is a vibrant, rapidly developing, multidisciplinary
academic unit with research and teaching programs in biological,
geological, and physical oceanography; marine chemistry, and
hydrographic science. The department is located at the John C. Stennis
Space Center on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In addition to NASA
research activities, the Stennis Space Center is also home to the Naval
Research Laboratory (NRL-SSC), the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office,
NOAA's National Data Buoy Center, the NOAA Coastal Data Development
Center, and the Maury Oceanographic Library, one of the country's
premier oceanographic libraries. Detailed information about the
department is available at www.usm.edu/marine.

Applicants must submit, preferably by electronic mail, a curriculum
vitae with a research plan; a statement of teaching philosophy; and
names, mailing addresses and e-mail addresses of four references to Dr.
Stephan D. Howden, The University of Southern Mississippi, Department
of Marine Science, 1020 Balch Boulevard, Stennis Space Center, MS
39529; Stephan.Howden@.... Review of applications will begin
January 15, 2007 and will continue until position is filled.
