One is for a conference next year and the other is for a Karst Hydrogeology Professor position that is open for applications. Please send this message to anyone you think may be interested, and contact the websites below for more information. George 5th International Workshop on Ice Caves Barzio, Italy September 16 - 23, 2012 http://users.unimi.it/icecaves/IWIC-V/index.html These are workshops entirely devoted to the study of ice deposits in caves to discuss the state-of-the-art in research and boost international cooperation. We welcome contributions related to any aspect of ice cave research, and particularly: - Ice cave climatology and the relationship between hypogean and epigean environments - Morphology and mass balance of cave ice deposits - Stratigraphy and internal structure of cave ice deposits - Ice sampling methods - Cave ice crystal fabric - Chemical and isotopic studies of cave ice and its fluid inclusions - Applications of radiometric methods - Palynology, dendrochronology and other biology-related studies applied to ice cave research. This 5th International Workshop on Ice Caves is organized under the auspices of the Glacier, Firn, and Ice Caves Commission of the International Union of Speleology. THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES KARST HYDROGEOLOGY The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) invites applications for a tenured position at the Associate Professor or Professor level, or a tenure-track position at the Associate Professor level, depending upon qualifications, beginning in Fall 2012 in Karst Hydrogeology. This faculty position is in the Department of Geological Sciences, which offers Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Geology. Faculty also supervises students in the Environmental Science M.S. program and in the Environmental Science and Engineering doctoral program. Opportunities exist for multi-disciplinary collaboration with faculty and students in Chemistry, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Environmental Science. Responsibilities include: 1) research, including multi-disciplinary and collaborative projects, 2) teaching courses in introductory geology and undergraduate and graduate courses in hydrogeology and related geology courses, and 3) service for the Department of Geological Sciences, the College of Sciences, and the University. The successful candidate is expected to perform a key role in the Center for Water Research Required qualifications for Associate Professor: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Geoscience or a closely related discipline with experience in applications to geological problems. Preferred qualifications: A strong record of research productivity to include a record of peer-reviewed publications and demonstrated successful in attracting extramural funding. An outstanding record of teaching and graduate student supervision. Required qualifications for Full Professor: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Geoscience or a closely related discipline with experience in applications to geological problems. Preferred qualifications: A nationally/internationally recognized record of research productivity. Successful candidate will exhibit an outstanding record of peer-reviewed scholarship, grant activity record commensurate with academic rank, a sustained record of leadership in the field, a sustained record of outstanding teaching and graduate student supervision. UTSA is one of the largest public universities in south Texas serving more than 30,000 students with two campuses, a main campus and a downtown campus. Nearby higher education and research institutions include the UT Health Science Center and the Southwest Research Institute
