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