The Department of Geology at Colorado College invites applications for a one-year non-tenure track position in Geophysics/Tectonics, broadly considered to begin in August 2016.
The faculty visitor will teach Introductory Geophysics, two intermediate-level courses related to his or her area of specialization, two physical geology courses, and one geology topics course for non-majors. Appointment will be at the assistant professor level for candidates holding a PhD. The PhD or ABD is a requirement for employment.
Applicants must be committed to high-quality innovative undergraduate teaching, including field-oriented courses. The Block System of education at Colorado College, in which professors teach and students take only one course at a time for 3-1/2 weeks, lends itself to field and project-based teaching. The visitor will teach 6 out of 8.5 blocks in the academic calendar. The Department has excellent field equipment and laboratory facilities for teaching and research in all geological disciplines. Information on the positions, facilities, and Department is on line at https://www.coloradocollege.edu/academics/dept/geology/.
Undergraduate research is an integral part of the Colorado College Geology curriculum; thus an ability to advise/support student research in the candidate’s areas of expertise is highly desirable. The Geology Dept contributes to CC’s Environmental Sciences program, and possibilities may exist for candidates to participate in teaching/advising in that program. The ability to teach GIS and/or to integrate GIS into courses is advantageous but not required. Colorado College is committed to increasing diversity of the community and curriculum. Candidates who can contribute to that goal are particularly encouraged to apply.
