Candidates with expertise in subsurface hydrology of soils and groundwater relevant to resource management decisions in dryland and irrigated agroecosystems, forests, rangelands, or urbanizing landscapes will be especially complementary to existing foci across the department, university, and the vibrant Montana water science community.

The position is open to candidates with research emphases on the systems driving water quantity and/or quality, recognizing that sustainability of water resources is inextricably tied to both. In their research program, the assistant professor will have the opportunity to integrate with existing department, college, and university strengths in agronomy, precision agriculture, pedology, watershed hydrology, ecohydrology, ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, microbiology, land-atmosphere interactions, soil chemistry and nutrient management, restoration ecology, invasive plants, entomology, data and spatial sciences, and environmental modeling.

As part of their education program, the faculty member will be asked to integrate their research emphases into innovative classes that train students on the systems thinking necessary to understand the resilience of water quantity and quality to pressures related to changes in water use, land use, and climate. This faculty member will have the opportunity to fill current curricular gaps in subsurface hydrology and reactive transport at the graduate level, as well as contribute more generally to critical needs for classes that improve the quantitative literacy of both the undergraduate and graduate student body.
1. PhD degree with an emphasis on quantitative hydrology or a closely related field.
2. Demonstrated potential for research achievement in environmental water systems science.
3. Evidence of strong skills in communication of research, including peer-reviewed publications.
4. Demonstrated potential for effective mentoring and training of students, employees, or early career professionals.
