Department of Geography and Environmental Studies

The Department of Geography & Environmental Studies seeks to develop a pool of candidates for postdoctoral scholar (post-doc) positions.

A post-doc is a professional appointment designed to provide recent doctoral degree recipients with an opportunity to gain experiences and skills that will advance their careers. A post-doc works under the supervision and sponsorship of a regular faculty member, who serves as a mentor to the post-doc, and it is expected that the faculty sponsor will provide an orientation and development plan for the post-doc, impart the realities and variety of careers available to the post-doc, and encourage learning opportunities to broaden the post-doc’s aspirations and experiences.

The appointment involves substantial and full-time commitment to research, scholarship, teaching, or other professional activities. Eligibility for annual reappointment is contingent upon satisfactory annual performance evaluations during the term period, in addition to continuity of funding and departmental need. For more information, please visit Postdoctoral Scholar Appointments, AA/PPS No. 04.01.24 (7.21).

This posting is not intended to convey that such a need currently exists. Applicants applying for a pool position will be available to the departmental search committee for consideration in case the need arises.

Recently awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate in a discipline relevant to those comprising the department.

Previous research and manuscript drafting experience is preferred.

Geography & Environmental Studies will accept applications from qualified applicants on a continual basis. Applications submitted through the Texas State University website will be accepted and considered, https://jobs.hr.txstate.edu/postings/46151
