Assistant Professor Position in Structural Geology:
The Department of Geosciences at Colorado State University seeks to fill
a position in structural geology at the Assistant Professor level. The
position is a 9-month tenure-track appointment with a preferred start
date of January 2015. Primary responsibilities include (1) teaching
undergraduate through advanced graduate courses in structural geology
and related fields, and participating in the summer field course, (2)
building a strong externally funded research and graduate teaching
program, (3) advising and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students,
(4) contributing to department, university, and national/international
service and outreach. Reflecting departmental and institutional values,
candidates are expected to have the ability to advance the Department’s
commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Requirements are: (1) a Ph.D. in geology or related discipline, (2) a
strong research record and future potential in structural geology, and
(3) evidence of research and teaching interests that complement and
enhance existing departmental strengths, and that can catalyze new
interdisciplinary directions in the future. Preference will be given to
applicants with: 1) an interest in research that draws on field
observations, 2) an interest in geoeducation and potential for
excellence in teaching, including field-based learning, 3) a good
publication record and future publication potential, 4) the ability to
obtain and manage external research funding, and 5) ability to establish
strong research and graduate teaching programs.

The Department of Geosciences offers B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. In
keeping with the mission of a Land Grant University, the program is
known for its strength in field-based research, commitment to teaching,
outreach to solve resource management problems, and basic research
programs in sedimentology/stratigraphy, petrology/geochemistry,
tectonics, hydrogeology/geomorphology, petroleum geology, economic
geology, seismology/geophysics, and geodynamics. The department
maintains state of the art UNIX and PC computational facilities,
geophysical facilities that include near-surface seismic, resistivity,
and ground penetrating radar systems, LIDAR, and a Scintrex CG5
gravimeter, and hosts a Re-Os TIMS facility. Other instrumentation
available on campus includes a JEOL JSM-6500F SEM, a JEOL JSM2100F TEM,
a PerkinElmer Elan DRC II ICP-MS, an ICP-AE, an XRD, and a light element
stable isotope facility.

Our location in northern Colorado offers excellent local and regional
opportunities for field-based research and teaching in the Rocky
Mountains and the Colorado High Plains. Numerous opportunities exist for
multi-institutional collaboration given our proximity to other research
universities, the USGS, EPA, other state and federal agencies, and
strong regional environmental, petroleum, and mineral industries. Fort
Collins is a mid-size city with a high quality of life, a pleasant
climate, good schools, and spectacular opportunities for outdoor
recreation. It is often ranked as one of the top five locations to live
in the U.S. Proximity to Denver provides ready access to a major
metropolitan area and a major international airport.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE: For full consideration send curriculum vitae,
statements of research and teaching interests, and names and addresses
of at least three referees by April 11, 2014 to
http://warnercnr.colostate.edu/employment-opportunities.html.
