For more information, contact the people or organizations listed. Please share this message with anyone you think may be interested. Thanks, George -------------------------------------- The New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology is looking to hire a professor whose "areas of particular interest include karst hydrology, watershed hydrology, ecohydrology, and aqueous geochemistry." For more information go to: http://www.nmt.edu/images/stories/hr/pdfs/asstprofees111-117.pdf -------------------------------------- Government Canyon State Natural Area is seeking to hire Park Ranger 1 Resource Specialist. Government Canyon is a major karst preserve of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and located just outside of San Antonio, Texas.

Presently, the Department of Geological Sciences is seeking a potential candidate to admit into this doctoral program. The selected candidate would receive annual tuition remission and a research assistantship renewable for three years. The ideal candidate holds a MS and is a self-starter with experience and ambition to seek external funding to support their dissertation. Potential areas of research for this funding line may include investigations into low-temperature geochemistry, groundwater tracing, and stable-isotope processes in karst aquifers, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in karst environments, and groundwater/geophysical studies related to the BSU ground-source geothermal conversion. Interested students should visit the above link for application information and contact Lee Florea at lflo...@bsu.edu to discuss their interest in the program. -- Dr. Lee J. Florea P.G.
