1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Simon Jowitt <simon.jowitt@xxxxxxxx> Hi All, with apologies for cross-posting The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) invites applications for a tenure track position in Economic Geology at the Assistant Professor level. We seek outstanding scholars that will establish an innovative research program in Economic Geology that complements existing departmental strengths, will demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching at both graduate and undergraduate levels, and will contribute to our commitment to diversity and inclusion in higher education. The successful candidate is expected to investigate scientific questions related to the broad field of economic geology and mineral resources, including (but not limited to) furthering our understanding of the varied geological processes that generate mineral resources and associated modern analogues, the structural, tectonic, magmatic, metamorphic, and fluid-related controls on metallogenesis, and the use of this and other knowledge in the exploration for new mineral deposits, all of which is expected to be communicated on both national and international levels. The candidate is also expected to develop a rigorous externally-funded research program and to supervise graduate students at both the Masterâ??s and Doctoral levels. Preference will be given to applicants whose research includes or integrates one or more tools including: structural geology, remote sensing, mineral exploration-related geophysics, hydrothermal fluids research, geochemical modeling, experimental petrology, and/or isotope geochemistry. Nevada is an ideal environment for economic geology as the number one gold producing state in the USA as well as having active lithium, copper, silver, zinc, molybdenum, vanadium, barite, specialty clay, and gypsum producing mines and/or exploration, among other commodities. In addition, the UNLV campus is within an hourâ??s drive of the Mountain Pass mining district, host to one of the most significant rare earth element deposits in the world. The UNLV Geoscience Department currently has 21 Faculty, 225 undergraduate students, and more than 50 MS/PhD students. The Department hosts laboratory facilities that include stable isotope, argon geochronology, fluid inclusions, XRD, multi collector LA-ICP-MS, soils, high pressure piston cylinder apparatus, and electron microprobe/SEM labs. UNLV has been classified as an R1 institution (very high research activity) and has been ranked #1 for ethnic diversity in the nation. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are core values at UNLV and in our department. Candidates from historically under-represented groups are encouraged to apply. The position requires a Ph.D. in an appropriate earth science discipline from a regionally accredited college of university at the time of hire. Demonstrated teaching experience is desirable. Application materials must include a 1) cover letter, 2) curriculum vitae, 3) proposed research plan (three-page limit), 4) statement of teaching philosophy and interests (two-page limit), 5) a statement of past or potential contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion (one-page limit), 6) 1-4 representative publications, and 7) contact information for at least four referees. Review of applications will begin January 15, 2022, and continue until the position is filled. Materials should be addressed to Dr. Pamela Burnley (Pamela.Burnley@xxxxxxxx), Search Committee Chair, and are to be submitted online as we do not accept emailed materials. For assistance with the application process, please contact UNLV Human Resources at (702) 895-3504 or applicant.inquiry@xxxxxxxx.
