Assistant Professor (tenure track) - Hydrogeology Professor (Assistant) - Ghent University · Department of Geology - Belgium, Gent
The Faculty of Sciences has a vacancy for a professorship, starting from 1 October 2016.
It concerns a full time position as Professor in the rank of Assistant Professor tenure track in the Department of Geology (WE13). The duties include academic teaching, academic research and carrying out academic services in the field of “hydrogeology”.
The selected applicant will be charged with teaching general geology courses at bachelor level (mainly in Dutch), and more advanced courses on e.g. hydrogeology in the master-programs geologie and geology.
A full time position at the entry level of Assistant Professor leads in principle to a five-year temporary appointment within the tenure track system. If the university board arrives at a positive evaluation of the performance of the assistant professor, the position leads to a permanent position as an Associate Professor.
As an exception to the rule, the candidate may be appointed to a permanent position, either immediately or in due course, based upon similar academic performance at another university or research institution as specified in article 91 of the university decree.
Candidates are required to enroll for the basic training for Assistant Professor.
Ghent University provides free Dutch and English language courses to professors who are non-native speakers in order to support them in their teaching activities.
Candidates on the short list will be asked to write a research statement that holds realistic prospects for complementary synergies with the staff members.
Candidates are therefore encouraged to consult the website of the department http://www.earthweb.ugent.be or contact Prof. Marc De Batist, Department Chair, (tel. +32 (0)9 264 45 87 or e-mail: marc.debatist@ugent.be).

ABOUT THE EMPLOYER
Ghent University is an equal opportunities employer. Applications from female researchers are therefore particularly welcome. The university board aims at a gender balance, in which a maximum of three fifths of the academic staff with a PhD degree is of the same gender. As long as this goal is not achieved at the level of the group of scientific disciplines involved, the university board will in principle, for positions within this group, give priority to candidates of the underrepresented gender but when candidates have the same qualifications. This priority is neither automatic nor unconditional as the personal situation of each applicant will be taken into account.
