- The Department of Geosciences at Florida Atlantic University seeks a full-time tenure-track faculty position, at the rank of Assistant Professor, in the broad area of hard rock geology and/or geochemistry, starting August 2023. The candidate is expected to establish an innovative externally funded research program and supervise MS and PhD level graduate students.

More information about the department can be found at: http://www.geosciences.fau.edu/ We are looking for a broadly trained hard-rock geologist or geochemist to be a primary instructor for the major core courses that are essential to our program – undergraduate courses on mineralogy, igneous and metamorphic petrology, and/or earth materials with laboratory. Other teaching responsibilities may include a course in introductory geology, a field-oriented course, and advanced course(s) in the candidate’s specialty. Diversity and Inclusion are core values of the Department of Geosciences. We believe that the educational environment is enhanced when diverse groups of people with diverse ideas come together to learn. Applicants whose work incorporates a global perspective and a demonstrated commitment to diversity of thought in higher education are particularly encouraged to apply.
