Hello all,

Weâ??re hiring a *tenure-track assistant professor* to start *August** 2025* (see
below) with a focus on *natural hazards*. Please pass this along to anyone
who might be interested. Thanks!

----

Denison University invites applications for a *tenure-track* position at
the Assistant Professor level in the *Department of Earth & Environmental
Sciences*, to begin in August 2025. We seek a broadly trained scientist
engaged in the study of Natural Hazards such as (but not limited to)
earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, impacts, and more. Successful candidates
are expected to be outstanding teacher-scholars and contribute to the
continued growth of the Department and College.

The college and the department are committed to providing an inclusive and
welcoming community for students, faculty, and staff, and to mentoring
faculty to be exceptional teachers, scholars, and colleagues.  Our
commitment to being a diverse learning and working community is essential
to our educational mission.  Individuals who identify as underrepresented
in STEM disciplines are encouraged to apply.

We are seeking a colleague who is committed to teaching excellence in the
liberal arts tradition, has broad interests beyond their individual
specialty, and will provide a balance of classroom, field, and laboratory
experiences for our students. Candidates must have the desire and ability
to teach courses at all levels of the curriculum with an emphasis on (1)
Structural Geology & Tectonics, (2) Natural Hazards, and (3) Introductory
Earth & Environmental Sciences. The teaching load is 3 courses per academic
year.  Denison is a fully residential campus and all classes are held
in-person and on-campus.

Successful candidates are also expected to maintain a vibrant, ongoing
research program that actively incorporates undergraduate students in a
liberal arts setting. The candidate's research specialty should complement
and expand the department's existing strengths in sedimentology,
geomorphology, petrology, and biogeochemistry. During the summer, Denison
and several affiliated funding agencies provide research and housing
stipends for the support of undergraduate research students, including
faculty stipends.  Research with students during the academic year is also
supported with funding available from various internal sources. A
supportive environment for teacher-scholars who value both classroom and
research excellence, Denison offers extensive support for its faculty,
including start-up research funds, an annual professional development
account, competitive professional development funding, and a one-semester
research leave after a successful pre-tenure review.  The college also
offers a range of workshops and mentoring programs to develop our strengths
as teacher-scholars.

Contributions to the life of the department, institution, and the larger
community are an essential part of Denisonâ??s mission. We anticipate our new
colleague will regularly engage in service activities within these
communities.

Denison is a highly selective, residential liberal arts college with a
broadly diverse student body of approximately 2,400 from across the nation
and world. We seek faculty who exemplify academic excellence and
professional integrity. Denison is committed to attracting and supporting a
diverse faculty and is committed to providing a work and learning
environment free from discrimination. Our mission is to foster critical
thinking and intellectual growth in an environment that values diverse
perspectives and thoughtful exchange.

 The college is located in the village of Granville, 30 minutes from
Columbus, Ohio, the state capital, which hosts a wide range of cultural and
artistic opportunities.  Granville offers an excellent public school system
and easy access to outdoor activities. Denison offers a competitive salary
and a comprehensive benefits package, including tuition benefits to attend
Denison or other affiliated colleges and a generous retirement contribution.
