and Environmental Science at the State University of New York College at
Plattsburgh invites applications for two tenure-track positions at the rank of
Assistant Professor in the general areas of “hard rock” and sedimentary geology
to begin in the Fall 2019 semester. We
seek broadly trained and creative geoscientists who demonstrate potential for
effective teaching at the undergraduate level, productive scholarship that
encourages student engagement, and collaboration with colleagues in the
Center’s environmental science, environmental planning, or ecology
programs. The successful candidates will
be committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship and service at an
institution primarily dedicated to undergraduate education. They will be expected
to demonstrate an understanding of and sensitivity to diversity and gender
issues, as SUNY Plattsburgh is committed to ensuring that its graduates are
educated to succeed in an increasingly complex, multicultural and
interdependent world.</span></p>

located on the shores of Lake Champlain in northeastern New York and at the
gateway to the six-million acre Adirondack Park, the largest state-protected
area in the contiguous United States.
The campus is about an hour drive northwest of Burlington, VT and south
of Montreal, QC. Our region has a rich
geological legacy and offers an ideal setting for geological study. The Taconic and Green mountains of the
northern Appalachian Province lie to our east and the high-grade metamorphic terrane
of the Adirondack Upland to our west.
The Champlain Valley and the contiguous St. Lawrence Valley to our north
are underlain by sedimentary rocks that were deposited along the rifted margin
of the Laurentian continent in the early Paleozoic. The region was further sculpted by glacial
processes during the late Pleistocene.
We encourage applications from candidates who would take full advantage
of our extraordinary geological environment to engage our students in
field-based undergraduate research and are willing to forge research
collaborations with our SUNY colleagues or those from other regional
institutions.</span></p>
