<p class="MsoNoSpacing">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The School of Geological Sciences and
Engineering at Yachay Tech invites applications for tenure-track

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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">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. <span
