Tenure-track Faculty Position in Mantle Processes

The Department of Geological Sciences seeks an outstanding scientist to lead a vibrant research program in the broadly defined area of Mantle Processes. Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the composition, structure, and evolution of our planet over varying length and time scales. We are particularly interested in those who seek to make connections between deep and shallow processes (examples include how the dynamically flowing and recirculating mantle interacts with its crust, hydrosphere, and atmosphere). Research approaches should encompass some combination of field, laboratory, and modeling. The appointment will preferably be at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor), but applications from scientists at all career levels will be considered. The successful applicant will be expected to develop a world-class independent program of research, interface where appropriate with existing programs in the Geological Sciences and in the School of Earth, Energy, and Environmental Sciences, and teach at the undergraduate and graduate level.


Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vita, a statement of research and teaching interests, three recently-published representative papers, and the names and email addresses of three individuals from whom the search committee can request letters of reference.

Review of applications will commence October 31, 2015. The position will remain open until filled.
