- | The KAUST-UT Austin Academic Excellence Alliance, a partnership | + | |
- | between the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) | + | |
- | and the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) at | + | |
- | The University of Texas at Austin, invites applications for faculty | + | |
- | positions at KAUST within the area of Computational Earth Sciences and | + | |
- | Engineering. We seek outstanding scientists to fill at least 10 | + | |
- | faculty positions across all ranks (assistant, associate, and full | + | |
- | professor) at the new KAUST campus on the Red Sea in Thuwal, Saudi | + | |
- | Arabia. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | KAUST (http://www.kaust.edu.sa) is being established as a world-class | + | |
- | international graduate-level science and technology research | + | |
- | university dedicated to inspiring a new age of scientific achievement | + | |
- | in the Kingdom that will also benefit the region and the world. The | + | |
- | KAUST mission emphasizes research on applications of science and | + | |
- | technology to problems of human need, social advancement, and economic | + | |
- | development, in collaboration with leading universities around the | + | |
- | world. KAUST is dedicated to a respect for diversity and the highest | + | |
- | standards of merit-based opportunity, and seeks the finest students | + | |
- | and faculty without regard to nationality, gender, or religious | + | |
- | belief. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | KAUST is an independent university that is governed by a | + | |
- | self-perpetuating Board of Trustees and supported by a multi-billion | + | |
- | dollar endowment. It reinvents the modern research university by | + | |
- | establishing advanced research institutes that focus on | + | |
- | interdisciplinary problems as the central organizing unit, and | + | |
- | offering only graduate (M.S. and Ph.D.) degrees. The four initial | + | |
- | research institutes are: Resources, Energy and Environment; | + | |
- | Biosciences and Bioengineering; Materials Science and Engineering; and | + | |
- | Applied Mathematics and Computational Science. KAUST's new 36 million | + | |
- | square meter state-of-the-art campus in Thuwal (80km north of Jeddah) | + | |
- | will open its doors to students in Fall 2009. The campus includes a | + | |
- | seaside town with housing, shops, schools, and numerous recreational | + | |
- | amenities. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The KAUST-UT Austin Alliance was formed to help build a research | + | |
- | program at KAUST in Computational Earth Sciences and Engineering. | + | |
- | Research areas of interest include modeling and simulation in | + | |
- | seismology and geophysics; subsurface flow and transport; | + | |
- | geomechanics; carbon sequestration; hydrology and water resources; | + | |
- | geochemistry; climate, ocean, and earth systems; and reservoir and | + | |
- | regional environmental systems, in addition to advanced mathematical | + | |
- | and computational techniques for the earth sciences, including | + | |
- | multiscale modeling and discretization, parallel solvers, inverse | + | |
- | problems, data assimilation, and uncertainty quantification. The | + | |
- | Academic Excellence Alliance will facilitate collaboration among | + | |
- | faculty, researchers, and students at the two universities via short- | + | |
- | and long-term visits and support for collaborative research projects | + | |
- | between KAUST faculty and UT faculty from ICES, the Jackson School of | + | |
- | Geosciences, and the Cockrell School of Engineering. In particular, | + | |
- | KAUST faculty will have the opportunity to spend up to a year in | + | |
- | residence as Visiting Fellows at UT-Austin prior to the opening of the | + | |
- | campus in 2009. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | We are seeking faculty with an ability to build world-class research | + | |
- | programs, depth in one or more of the above earth science areas as | + | |
- | well as in mathematical and computational techniques, interests in | + | |
- | conducting research on interdisciplinary societal problems in a | + | |
- | collaborative environment, and an ability to teach graduate courses in | + | |
- | fundamental earth science areas as well as in computational methods. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The unrivaled resources available to KAUST faculty--including security | + | |
- | of research funding, state-of-the-art laboratories, a petascale | + | |
- | computing facility, assured support for graduate students, postdocs, | + | |
- | and technicians, generous travel allowances, and world-class salaries | + | |
- | and benefits--offer the opportunity to focus on building leading | + | |
- | research programs without the uncertainties and overheads experienced | + | |
- | elsewhere. To apply for a faculty position, please send a cover | + | |
- | letter, curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching | + | |
- | experience and interests, and contact information for at least four | + | |
- | references to kaust-aea@ices.utexas.edu. Review of applications will | + | |
- | begin immediately, and will continue until all positions are filled. | + | |
