Professorial Position – Petrology, School of Earth, Environmental & Biological Sciences, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia
The School of Earth, Environmental & Biological Sciences at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) invites applications for an on-going appointment at the Professorial level in Petrology. We seek to appoint a highly qualified, research-focused Professor (Level E), able to provide strategic leadership in both research and learning within the discipline area of Earth Sciences, and more widely to QUT’s institutional strengths in Material Science and characterisation.
Earth Science is an area of research and teaching strength at QUT, and we want to build on our expertise in volcanology, igneous petrology, geochemistry, sedimentology, structural geology/tectonics and geophysics. In the 2015 Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) round, Earth Science at QUT received the highest rating possible for Geology (5 for the 4-digit 0403 Geology Unit of Evaluation) and the Discipline is consistently evaluated as amongst the leading teaching areas within the Faculty.
The successful applicant will lead, maintain and expand high-quality research at an international level of excellence; provide academic leadership in developing and enhancing the research profile of the Discipline and School, and contribute actively to teaching. Their leadership will be based on an outstanding international track record of high impact publications and research income, as well as strong ties with industry. She/He will also be able to exploit the substantial and strategic investments in facilities made by QUT over the last six years through the Science and Engineering Centre (including the Central Analytics Research Facility), as well as international science campaigns such as the International Ocean Discovery Program, in which QUT is an important member.
