The College is seeking a surficial geologist who is dedicated to quality
undergraduate education and involving students in research. The successful

as major programs in geology, water science, and natural resources. The
successful candidate will be expected to offer field-intensive or other
experiential learning courses during the College’s May Term. The

liberal arts and interdisciplinary teaching, and have a demonstrated
ability to help students at all levels understand and appreciate the
far-reaching influences of earth processes.

A PhD in geology is required (conferred by August, 2016). The position will
