The Earth and Environmental Sciences Department at California State University, Fresno invites applications for a position in Biogeochemistry at the assistant professor level. Applicants' research may involve any aspect of geochemistry of marine or terrestrial environments relevant to how these interact/affect biological organisms or systems. The successful candidate is expected to: 1) develop a competitive research program that complements existing departmental activities, and that involves undergraduate and Master's level graduate students, 2) develop and teach courses within the undergraduate and graduate program in fields pertaining to the candidate's experience, 3) teach at the general education level within the broad field of geology, environmental science, and biogeochemistry, and 4) perform university and professional service. The typical teaching load is 6 weighted teaching units (WTU) per semester for the first two years and 9-12 WTU thereafter. WTU can be bought out usually through funding by the college or external grants. Supervising undergraduate and graduate student research projects counts toward the WTU load.
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences consists of 10 faculty, ~25 graduate students and ~ 50 undergraduate geology majors and a similar number of environmental science majors. We offer B.S. degrees in Geology and in Environmental Science, as well as an M.S. in Geology. Our faculty cover a broad range of research fields including Quaternary geology, paleontology, palynology, geophysics, tectonics, paleomagnetism, structural geology, igneous petrology, sedimentary geology, engineering geology, geomorphology, paleoclimatology, and hydrogeology. An undergraduate thesis is required in our department, so our students are active in geoscience research at both undergraduate and masters levels; such students commonly present their research at international conferences (e.g., AGU, GSA). The College of Science and Mathematics has a diverse and accomplished group of over 150 faculty members who engage in disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary research collaborations in engineering, agriculture and social science. Our students come primarily from the Central Valley, but also from throughout California, the USA, and the world.
