HYDROGEOLOGIST and MINERALOGIST/PETROLOGIST - Kansas State University The Department of Geology at Kansas State University invites applicants for two tenure track Assistant Professor positions to start fall 2007. Hydrogeology: Teaching expectations include courses in hydrogeology, related upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses, and introductory-level geology courses.Research expectations include the development of an externally funded, field-based research/graduate program in hydrogeology, including campus- wide multidisciplinary collaborations with colleagues interested in water from many perspectives (see for example: www.growe.ksu.edu, www.k- state.edu/geography/facilities/gissal.htm, gis.ksu.edu/Ogallala, www.oznet.k- state.edu/kcare, nabc.ksu.edu/NABC, climate.konza.ksu.edu, www.ksu.edu/nres). Mineralogy/Petrology: Teaching expectations include the development of comprehensive undergraduate courses in both mineralogy and petrology, as well as teaching a share of our high-enrollment service courses. We also encourage courses offered in the candidate's areas of expertise at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels. We would expect the rapid development of an innovative, externally-funded research program. For both positions we are particularly interested in research specialties that would fit one or more of the department's current growth areas: energy resources, tectonics/geophysics, environmental geology, and earth science education. The successful candidate should demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in research, teaching, mentoring of students and to serving a diverse population. A PhD in geosciences is required. The Department of Geology at KSU currently has eight faculty members (with two vacant positions), and offers B.S and M.S. degrees in Geology (www.ksu.edu/geology).KSU is located in the tallgrass prairie of the Flint Hills in eastern Kansas (www.ksu.edu). K-State is designated a Carnegie Doctoral/Research- Extensive Institution and has been ranked among the top state and private institutions of higher education in Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Goldwater, and Udall scholars since 1986. Review of applications will begin November 6th, 2006 for mineralogy/petrology and November 13, 2006 for hydrogeology and we plan to interview in the late fall and early spring semesters, respectively. Applications should include a letter of application stating the position to which you are applying, a complete vita, and a statement of ways in which your approach to teaching and research are likely to expand, enrich, and complement geology and related programs at KSU. Three letters of recommendation should be arranged to be sent to the department at the time of application.All materials should be sent to: Search Committee Chair, Department of Geology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506 ([log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]).
