Two tenure-track faculty positions at Michigan Technological University.
The Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences (GMES) at Michigan Technological University invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions (appointment as Assistant, Associate or Full Professor is possible) in support of programs in 1) atmospheric sciences and 2) geological engineering. Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and research, with the desire to strike a balance between undergraduate and graduate teaching and advising, funded research, scholarly activity, and service. Descriptions of the two positions are given below.
Atmospheric sciences. Atmospheric science activities within the GMES department and Michigan Tech are undergoing major growth, with recent hires in the fields of chemical-transport modeling, remote sensing, aerosol chemistry and climate modeling, complementing existing strengths in volcanology and cloud physics. We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in atmospheric chemistry and research interests/programs that include field measurements. The successful applicant will contribute to Michigan Tech’s interdepartmental research and teaching program in Atmospheric Science (www.atmos-sci.mtu.edu). Informal inquiries may be directed to Dr. Simon Carn (scarn@xxxxxxx).
Geological engineering. The geological engineering program is an integral part of our research and educational activities in natural hazards and natural resources (mineral, hydrocarbon, and water resources). We are interested in candidates who can enhance these programs and who possess technical strengths in geological engineering, hydrology, mining engineering, remote sensing, or related areas. While candidates need not have engineering degrees, they must possess experience and training that would permit licensure as a professional engineer. Dr. Greg Waite (gpwaite@xxxxxxx) may be contacted with questions.
Only electronic applications will be accepted, preferably as a single PDF file that includes a detailed CV and statements of research and teaching interests along with a cover letter. Atmospheric science applications should be emailed to atmosearch@xxxxxxx. Applications for the geological engineering position should be emailed to geoengsearch@xxxxxxx. In addition, candidates should arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to the same address. Applications will be considered until the positions are filled.
Michigan Tech has a total student population of about 7000 and is located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a pristine area on the south shore of Lake Superior. The department is committed to a strong educational focus and values basic and applied interdisciplinary research. Undergraduate and graduate programs are offered in Atmospheric Sciences, Geology, Geological Engineering and Geophysics. Interested candidates can learn more about the department faculty, research, and educational programs at www.geo.mtu.edu.
In addition to the present search, a two-year university-wide search to fill up to ten positions in each of the areas "Next-Generation Energy Systems" and "Health: Basic Sciences, Technologies, and Medical Informatics" is underway. Qualified candidates are encouraged to send a separate application, following the "How to Apply" guidelines at www.mtu.edu/sfhi.
Michigan Tech is an ADVANCE institution, one of a limited number of universities in receipt of NSF funds in support of our commitment to increase diversity and the participation and advancement of women in STEM, and an Equal Opportunity Educational Institution/Equal Opportunity Employer.
