We seek a broadly trained earth scientist with an established record of excellence in teaching and research in the general areas of paleontology and sedimentology/stratigraphy, with a sincere interest in undergraduate teaching in a liberal arts setting. Strong preference will be given to candidates qualified for an associate professor level appointment, candidates with significant experience at the assistant professor level will also be considered.
Primary responsibilities will include teaching courses in paleontology, sedimentology/stratigraphy, and historical geology as well as sharing in the introductory course. The development of additional courses (including January Term courses with opportunity for significant travel) related to the candidate's specialty is encouraged.
