at Williams College invites applications for a
tenure-track appointment in geomorphology, at the rank of
Assistant Professor, beginning 1 July 2016. We seek a colleague
who is committed to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate
level, who will provide a balance of classroom, field, and
laboratory experiences for our students, and who can develop a
vibrant and productive research program that engages
undergraduates. The successful candidate will teach three courses
per year (lectures plus labs). Teaching responsibilities typically
include an introductory course in environmental/surficial
geosciences, a departmental core course in geomorphology, and
another upper-level course based on the candidate’s interests.
Examples of such courses include, but are not limited to, tectonic
geomorphology, critical zone processes, landscape dynamics, human
perturbations, hydrology, or geographic information systems.</p>
