The Department of Geology at Kansas State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Hydrogeology, beginning August 2025.
We seek an enthusiastic and versatile geoscientist able to contribute to our growing bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. The position requires excellence in teaching and mentoring, professional and scholarly achievements, and a commitment to service to the Department and the University. The successful candidate is expected to develop and maintain a vigorous, externally funded research program, supervise graduate and undergraduate theses, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
 The successful applicant will ideally carry out research in the broad area of hydrogeology. Anticipated areas of specialization could include groundwater flow and/or reactive-transport modeling, contaminant hydrology, groundwater quality/remediation, ecohydrology, surface water-groundwater interactions, critical-zone processes, hydrogeophysics, and/or aquifer storage and recovery. Research that integrates field methods with numerical and/or laboratory approaches is highly desired. The new faculty member will be expected to teach our undergraduate course in hydrogeology and develop upper level undergraduate and graduate courses in their area of specialty. They will also be expected to supervise research students in this area of geoscience.
