We welcome applications in three complementary areas:

Earth Resources (Assistant or Associate Professor): mineral systems and resources, ore genesis, sustainable mining, and economic geology, with interests including geochemistry, geochronology, geophysics, basin analysis, and tectonic–biologic applications to resource systems.

Earth Physics (Assistant Professor): geodesy, geodynamics, magnetism, seismology, and other geophysical approaches to solid Earth and surface processes.

Earth–Life Relationships (Assistant Professor): geochemistry, geobiology, biogeochemical cycles, paleontology, sedimentology/stratigraphy, paleoenvironmental change, and Earth–life co-evolution.

Rank: Assistant or Associate Professor (tenure-track)

Workload: 40% research, 40% teaching, 20% service

Minimum Qualification: Ph.D. in Geosciences or a closely related field by the start date

 

Applicants should submit a CV, a combined research and teaching statement, and contact information for at least three references. Review of applications will begin January 15, 2026, and continue until the positions are filled.
