The University of Akron is expanding its teaching strengths in the 
Department of Geosciences by opening two non-tenure track positions with

serve approximately 40 M.S. students and 130 undergraduates majoring in 
geology, environmental science, geographic information systems and 
geography.  Candidates must possess Ph.D (or abd) in a geosciences 
field. Competitive earth systems history candidates (Job #8534) must
