The
Department of Geology at the University of Maryland invites applications for a
tenure-track assistant professor in Tectonics/Structural Geology, broadly
defined. Possible research areas of interest include, but are not limited to: active
tectonics and natural hazards, basin analysis, climate–tectonics interactions,
crustal evolution, geodesy, microtectonics, orogenesis, planetary geology, and tectonophysics.
The appointee will be expected to develop and maintain an active, externally
funded research program that will involve both graduate and undergraduate
students, and to participate fully in teaching at all levels, including
structural geology. We particularly encourage applications from those who
integrate across traditional disciplinary boundaries both within the Department
of Geology (http://www.geology.umd.edu) and throughout the College of Computer,
Mathematics, and Natural Sciences (http://www.cmns.umd.edu). Candidates from
underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
A Ph.D. in
Geology or a related discipline is required at the time of appointment. The
appointment may begin as early as August 1, 2016. Applications should be
submitted online at http://ejobs.umd.edu/postings/38311
and should include the
following: a letter of application stating research and teaching goals; a
