Visiting Faculty Opportunity- Tectonics
The Department of Geology at Colorado College invites applications for a one-year non-tenure track position in Tectonics, to begin in August 2010.
The faculty visitor in will teach courses in Field Analysis of Geological Structures, Physical Geology, and subjects in the candidate’s areas of specialization. Appointments will be at the assistant professor level for candidates holding a PhD. The PhD or ABD is a requirement for employment. Specialization areas of particular interest are thermochronology, petrology, structural geology, and GIS. Undergraduate research is an integral part of the Colorado College Geology curriculum; thus an ability to advise research in the candidate’s areas of expertise is highly desirable.
Applicants must be committed to high-quality innovative undergraduate teaching, including field-oriented courses. The Block System of education at Colorado College, in which professors teach and students take only one course at a time for 3-1/2 weeks, lends itself to field and project-based teaching. The visitor will teach 6 out of 8.5 blocks in the academic calendar. The Department has excellent field equipment and laboratory facilities for teaching and research in all geological disciplines. Information on the positions, facilities, and Department is on line at http://www.coloradocollege.edu/dept/GY/. Colorado College is committed to increasing diversity of the community and curriculum. Candidates who can contribute to that goal are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applicants should send statement of teaching and research interests, curriculum vitae, and names and addresses of three referees by February 26, 2010 to: Christine Siddoway, Chair, Colorado College, 14 E. Cache la Poudre, Colorado Springs, CO 80903, 719-389-6717; email: geology@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The search will remain open until the visitor positions are filled.
The Colorado College welcomes members of all groups, and reaffirms its commitment not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability in its educational programs, activities, and employment practices.
