Assistant Professor in Igneous Petrology/Geochemistry

The Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering at the University 
of Nevada, Reno seeks an earth scientist for a tenure-track faculty 
position at the Assistant Professor level in high-temperature earth 
processes. We seek an outstanding scientist who combines field, 
laboratory and modeling investigations and will establish an innovative, 
world-class, externally funded research program in the petrological 
and/or geochemical evolution of Earth’s crust and/or mantle.

Position duties will include establishment of a strong and consistent 
record of research productivity, including publications in well-regarded 
journals, and acquisition of funding from competitive external sources. 
The applicant will be expected to direct graduate student research at 
the M.S. and Ph.D. levels. The specific field of interest is open, but 
preference will be given to candidates who would complement and interact 
with our existing strengths in the structural and metamorphic evolution 
of the lithosphere, economic geology, geothermal systems, and natural 
hazards.

The position also includes teaching of undergraduate and graduate 
curricula in the geosciences as assigned, including development of 
graduate courses in his/her areas of expertise.

A portion of the position duties will include service to the Department, 
University and the broader Geoscience community.

The Department is part of the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and 
Engineering, which also includes two state-funded Earth Science units, 
the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology and the Nevada Seismological 
Laboratory. More information about the Department can be found at
