<div dir="ltr"> Tenure-track/tenured Assistant/Associate Geochronologist and Director of the
Nevada Isotope Geochronology Laboratory <div><br></div><div>The Department of Geoscience at the University of Nevada Las Vegas invites applications for a full-time,
tenure-track/tenured faculty position in 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, other radiogenic geochronologic systems, or
related fields at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. The successful candidate will serve as the director of
the Nevada Isotope Geochronology Laboratory (NIGL). NIGL has a dedicated state-funded lab manager that
runs day-to-day operations, holds a MAP 215-50 mass spectrometer with furnace and CO2 laser sources, and is
housed in a state-of-the-art LEED certified building dedicated to analytical instrumentation, and which will have
a complete multi-collector ICP-MS facility for other radiogenic systems. We are particularly interested in
individuals who integrate geochronological investigations with innovative geochemical or other analytical
techniques in the pursuit of interdisciplinary research. Opportunities for collaboration exist with departmental
groups focused on research in Solid Earth, Paleoclimatology, Surficial Processes and Planets. In addition to
NIGL, the department hosts facilities that include electron microprobe, SEM, LA-ICP-MS, and upcoming MCICP-MS instruments as well as stable isotope, fluid inclusion, imaging, mineral separation, cryptotephra, and
medical geology labs. The successful candidate is expected to establish (Assistant-level), or expand upon
(Associate-level) a vigorous, externally funded research program; direct and grow NIGL at UNLV; teach
effectively at both undergraduate and graduate levels; and perform service duties at all levels. The Geoscience
Department (<a href="https://geoscience.unlv.edu">https://geoscience.unlv.edu</a>) has 21 faculty, ~240 undergraduate students, and ~50 MS/PhD

seeking appointments at the Associate Professor level with tenure must have a significant record of
transformative funded research and publications in support of the rank and must be able to meet UNLV tenure
