The Department of Geological Sciences and 
Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno seeks an earth scientist 
for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in 
high-temperature earth processes. We seek an
 outstanding scientist who combines field, laboratory and modeling 
investigations and will establish an innovative, world-class, externally

evolution of Earth’s crust and/or mantle.  The
 applicant will be expected to direct graduate student research at the 
M.S. and Ph.D. levels and contribute to both undergraduate and graduate 
education. The specific field of interest is open, but preference will 
be given to candidates who would complement
 and interact with our existing strengths in the structural and 
metamorphic evolution of the lithosphere, economic geology, geothermal 
systems, and natural hazards. Interested applicants must have a 
doctorate in geology or a related geoscience field by the
 time of hire.  The Department is part of the Mackay School
 of Earth Sciences and Engineering, which also includes two state-funded
 Earth Science units, the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology and the 
Nevada Seismological Laboratory. More information
