The Department of Geosciences at Skidmore College invites applications for a one-year, full-time Visiting Assistant Professor to begin fall 2020. We seek a broadly trained geologist with strong teaching capabilities in solid Earth processes and Deep Time to
offer both introductory and advanced classes. During the 2020-2021 academic year, the successful candidate will be expected to teach two sections of an introductory laboratory course on Earthquakes and Volcanoes, an intermediate-level laboratory course in
Structural Geology, and an advanced seminar in the instructor’s area of expertise. Capabilities in any of the following areas are desirable: structural geology, Earth history, tectonic hazards, natural resources, petrology, and related fields. The College
seeks to attract an academically and culturally diverse faculty, welcoming applicants from historically under-represented groups and/or those who have experience teaching diverse student populations. Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply. A
Ph.D. in an appropriate Earth science discipline or closely related field is required, and prior teaching experience is desirable.<o:p></o:p></p>
