****************************************************************************************************
The Dickinson College Department of Earth Sciences is expanding its faculty and invites applications for TWO tenure track positions at the Assistant Professor level, ABD or PhD (preferred). (1) Environmental Geophysicist: Teaching responsibilities for this position will include hydrogeology, an upper level course in environmental geophysics, a required introductory course and upper level electives in the candidate’s field of expertise. (2) Low Temperature Geochemist: Teaching responsibilities include a required upper level low temperature Geochemistry course for the major, a required introductory course, upper level electives in the candidate’s field of expertise (e.g., climate change, critical zone studies, environmental geochemistry).
The successful candidates will be committed to teaching excellence in the liberal arts tradition and will have broad interests in geosciences beyond their specialty. Experience in student-faculty undergraduate research is highly desirable. Applicants must demonstrate a strong potential for interacting effectively with undergraduate students and an ability to collaborate effectively with students and colleagues from diverse backgrounds.
The Dickinson Earth Sciences curriculum emphasizes project-based learning with a strong field component, which is greatly facilitated by our location in the Great Valley, near the folded Appalachians, the northern terminus of the Blue Ridge, and the Triassic rift basins. The department has excellent analytical (AAS, SEM-EDS, CL, XRD, XRF, TOC, laser particle size analyzer, digital 3-component seismometer, a 5-well instrumented well field for hydrogeologic investigations) and computing facilities. More information can be found on the college (www.dickinson.edu) and department (www.dickinson.edu/homepage/96/earth_sciences) web pages. Dickinson College is a highly selective private liberal arts college in south-central PA within easy drive of the New York-Washington, DC metro corridor.
