	The Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at  
Case Western Reserve University seeks candidates for a tenure-track  
faculty growth position. We seek outstanding candidates who will  
complement existing departmental strengths in planetary sciences,  
geochemistry, and surficial processes.  It is anticipated that the  
position will be filled at the Assistant Professor level, but senior  
candidates are also encouraged to apply. Candidates at the Assistant  
Professor level should demonstrate promise for research and teaching  
excellence; Associate Professor candidates should have established a  
significant professional reputation; candidates for Professor should  
be internationally recognized for leadership and scholarship in their  
discipline.  All positions require completion of the PhD degree by  
July 1, 2013 and a competitive record of research commensurate with  
rank. The successful candidate will be expected to teach and mentor  
undergraduate and graduate students within the department, including  
teaching both introductory and disciplinary courses, and to conduct a  
vigorous, externally-funded research program that involves post- 
doctoral, graduate and undergraduate students. The typical teaching  
load is 2-3 courses per year.

	Although applications will be considered at any time, for guaranteed  
review applications should be received by November 15, 2012.   
Applicants should send a CV, a letter that describes research  
interests and teaching experience, and contact information for three
