Dear Colleagues,
The Department of Earth Sciences at Memorial University is seeking applicants with expertise in High-Temperature Geochemistry to fill a tenure-track position (Ref.: VPA #EASC-2014-001) at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank and build on existing strengths in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), including laser ablation-ICP-MS, multi-collector ICP-MS, and related methods. The successful candidate will be expected to undertake technique development with potential applications to igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochronology, tectonics, lithogeochemistry, mineralogy, economic geology, environmental geology, and/or petroleum geoscience. Candidates with expertise in technique development related to in situ mineral chemistry and isotopic analysis, solution ICP-MS, U-Pb geochronology, radiogenic
tracer isotopes, heavy stable isotopes, and/or fluid inclusion analysis are especially encouraged to apply. The position is subject to budgetary approval.
The applicant must be able to deliver undergraduate courses in geochemistry and develop graduate courses in his/her area of expertise. In addition, he/she will be expected to establish an externally funded research program, supervise graduate students, and collaborate with research partners both at Memorial University and externally, potentially including those in industry and government.
Candidates will be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria: a PhD in Earth Sciences; an exceptional record of peer-reviewed research; teaching experience; and a demonstrated capacity to develop and lead a high quality research program in the development and application of ICP-MS methods in the Earth Sciences.
Additional information is provided in the job advertisement here: http://www.mun.ca/earthsciences/Alumni/Job_Ad.pdf.
Please forward to any colleagues that you might think would be interested.
Thanks in advance.
Steve Piercey.
