The Department of Earth and Environmental Geosciences (formerly Geological Sciences) invites applications for Assistant Professor(s) of Instruction. We seek a dynamic and collaborative colleague who is enthusiastic about teaching and learning, who will contribute to curriculum development at all levels, and/or will lead and coordinate our growing online professional MS program. To fill this permanent, full-time, non-tenure-track position eligible for promotion and multi-year contracts, we are delighted to receive applications from scholars who have expertise in the soft-rock geosciences, environmental geosciences, or related fields to teach introductory geoscience courses and upper division/graduate courses.

We welcome applicants whose expertise complements that of existing faculty in the Department of Earth and Environmental Geosciences and who can collaborate with other units on campus, such as the Environmental Science and Sustainability program and/or the Voinovich School. The successful applicant will contribute to developing an innovative, inclusive, and equitable curriculum and programs grounded in high-quality mentoring and engaging online and traditional curricula. The successful applicant will have opportunities to mentor undergraduates in a newly renovated lab space with a modest development fund, annual faculty discretionary fund, and conference travel support. Candidates who have experience working with a diverse range of faculty, staff, and students, and who can contribute to the climate of inclusivity are encouraged to identify their experiences in these areas.
