Yachay Tech University is the first research intensive university of 
Ecuador.  The University is located in the Inter-Andean valley about two 
hours north of Quito.  Yachay means knowledge in Kichwa and Yachay Tech 
is adjacent to the developing Yachay “City of Knowledge,” the first 
planned technology city in the Andean region.  The mission of the 
University is to provide an international environment in which research, 
learning, technology, and professional activity are valued and 
supported.  Since opening in March of 2014, the student population has 
grown to a total of approximately 800 undergraduates.  We anticipate 
initiating doctoral programs in the near future.  Each of the 
University´s six schools (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, 
Mathematics, and Social Sciences) features a distinct academic structure 
that pairs engineering with basic sciences.  An intensive English 
language program qualifies students for the upper level coursework that 
will be taught entirely in English.

The School of Geological Sciences and Engineering at Yachay Tech invites 
applications for tenure-track faculty positions in all major fields of 
geology and geological engineering, including candidates with experience 
in the various subdiscipines of the following research areas:  petroleum 
geology and engineering; volcanology, petrology, and mineralogy; water 
resources, hydrology, hydropower, and geothermal resources; climate, 
paleoclimate, and climate change; seismology and seismic hazards; 
economic geology, mineral resources, and mining; oceanography, 
paleooceanography, and marine resources; and origins and conservation of 
biodiversity.

Yachay Tech faculty will develop active research programs, direct PhD 
students, involve undergraduate students in collaborative research 
projects, teach (in English) upper level undergraduate and graduate 
courses in their fields of specialty, and participate in campus service 
activities.

If interested in applying, send a letter of interest, a curriculum 
vitae, a statement of research interests, and the names and contact 
information for three references to Patricia Katherine Guerrero 
(pkguerrero at yachaytech.edu.ec <mailto:pkguerrero at yachaytech.edu.ec>), 
assistant to the Dean of Geological Sciences and Engineering. Formal 
consideration of applications will begin immediately; positions will 
remain open until filled.
