The Department of Geosciences invites applications for the Lowell Chair in Economic Geology, a tenure-track faculty position to be filled by May 2022 at Assistant Professor level.  Exceptional candidates will be considered at Associate Professor level. We seek applicants interested in carrying out innovative teaching and research in the area of economic geology including applied issues directly related to the discovery, development and production of mineral deposits as well as remediation of mining sites. We are looking for individuals who approach broad-based applied issues from a geological perspective and can combine academic and industry interests. A requirement of the position is to coordinate innovative graduate professional training programs related to mineral exploration and production. A Ph.D. or equivalent degree is required. A desire to work with industry, through collaborations and established or planned partnerships, is welcome/preferred.

The successful candidate is expected to actively engage in multidisciplinary research and teaching through the Department of Geosciences, the partnerships and initiatives of the Lowell Institute for Mineral Resources, and related professional programs. Areas of interest are very broad and include but are not limited to: fluid processes in crustal environments; structural and tectonic controls on ore-forming systems; geothermal or active and fossil magmatic or metamorphic systems; and isotope geochemistry, petrology, or biogeochemistry of metal systems as well as planetary exploration for metals and other economic resources. Approaches can include field, experimental or theoretical work in settings from surficial to magmatic, scales from microscopic to global, topics from basic science to applications and policy.

The Department is seeking an individual who is able to work with diverse students and colleagues. Review of applications will begin on January 15, 2022, and continue until the search is completed.
