Faculty position in petrology at the University of New Mexico
The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) and the Institute of Meteoritics (IOM) at
the University of New Mexico invite applications for a tenure track faculty position at the rank of
Assistant Professor in the field of Petrology. The position is a 9-month joint appointment with
duties split equally between EPS and IOM. The position comes with a reduced teaching load to
accommodate a high level of research-related activities. We are particularly interested in
candidates who have demonstrated research activities in both terrestrial and planetary topics and
who possess skills necessary to lead the integrated IOM/EPS experimental petrology laboratory
facilities. The University of New Mexico is the largest and most comprehensive of the state’s
institutions of higher education and is both a Carnegie Very High Research University and a
federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institution. The Department of Earth and Planetary
Sciences has a faculty of 20 and offers undergraduate degrees in Earth and Planetary Sciences
and Environmental Science, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Earth and Planetary Sciences. The
Institute of Meteoritics, founded in 1944, was one of the first institutions in the world devoted to
the study of meteorites, its scientists carry out research on planetary materials, solar system
formation and evolution, and participate in NASA missions of exploration. All of the EPS and IOM
facilities and instrumentation are co-located in Northrop Hall on the UNM Main Campus, which
feature electron microprobe, SIMS, SEM, TEM, FIB, x-ray diffraction, FTIR, QMS-GC, ICPMS,
radiogenic isotope, stable isotope, and analytical chemistry laboratories.
Minimum qualifications are a Ph.D. in Geosciences or a related field at the time of appointment
and research experience in igneous petrology, planetary materials or mineral physics. Preferred
qualifications are: demonstrated publication record in peer-reviewed journals; commitment and
energy to establish a vigorous and externally funded research program; evidence of a research
area that complements existing research in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and
the Institute of Meteoritics and demonstrated commitment to collaborative science; commitment
to excellence in undergraduate and graduate level teaching and research mentoring; a
demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and student success, as well as working with
broadly diverse communities.
The application package, containing a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching
and a statement of research interests, and the names of three references with contact
