Faculty Position/Department of Geology/University of Maryland, College Park.
The Department of Geology at UM is searching for a tenure-track faculty
member who has made fundamental contributions in shallow lithosphere,
particularly crustal processes. We seek an outstanding scientist in one of
the following broadly-defined areas: structural geology and tectonics, or
neotectonics. A Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment. The
appointee is expected to develop and maintain an active, externally-funded
research program and to participate fully in teaching at the graduate and
undergraduate levels, including courses in structural geology and tectonics.
The Department expects to fill this position by the beginning of the Fall
Semester 1999 or as soon as possible thereafter, most likely at the rank of
Assistant Professor. Salary will be commensurate with experience.
Research strengths of the Department of Geology include the broad areas of
mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry, in particular of granites and
associated mineralization; hydrological processes and integration of
geomorphology, hydrology and ecology to understand surface environments;
and, isotope geochemistry in support of these areas and in mantle
geochemistry, meteoritics, tectonics, carbonate diagenesis, sediment
cycling, geochronology, stratigraphy and paleoclimate studies. The
Department of Geology encourages interdisciplinary approaches to the study
of the Earth and participates in the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary
Center. This new Center has been formed through collaboration between the
University of Maryland and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to carry out
preeminent research and teaching programs in Earth System Science.
The University of Maryland is an affirmative action/equal employment
opportunity employer. Applications should be submitted by December 11, 1998
for best consideration and should be submitted to: Chair, Search Committee,
Department of Geology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA.
Applicants should provide a statement describing research and teaching
interests, indicating how s/he envisions contributing to the Department's
research and teaching activities, a signed current curriculum vitae and the
names and addresses of at least four referees. Applicants should ask
referees to send letters directly to the Chair of the Search Committee as
soon as possible. The Search Committee encourages applicants to submit
copies of up to two recent publications in support of their candidacy.
