Assistant Professor, Marine/Coastal Geology/Geochemistry

Colby College, Waterville, Maine


The Colby College Department of Geology invites applications for a
tenure-track position in marine geology/geochemistry at the level of
Assistant Professor to begin September 1, 2017. This position is part of a
cluster hire in support of Colby's new Environmental Science initiative.
Colby requires strong, innovative teaching at all levels of the
undergraduate curriculum and an active research program involving
undergraduate collaborators. Ideal candidates for this position also will:
(1) teach a 200-level, low-temperature-geochemistry or biogeochemistry
course in addition to other courses in the Geology Department; (2) present
ambitious research

plans focusing on the marine/coastal record of environmental change over
100–1,000,000-year timescales; and (3) strengthen collaborations between
Colby College and the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences on the coast of
Maine (www.bigelow.org). There also are opportunities for collaborations
with scientists at Colby and other nearby institutions including the
University of Maine Climate Change Institute, Bowdoin College, and Bates
College. A Ph.D.

is required at the time of appointment. The search committee is especially
interested in candidates with diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and
candidates who have a record of success advising and mentoring individuals
from groups under-represented in higher education. Tenure-track faculty at
Colby receive competitive startup packages and are eligible for a pretender
sabbatical. Female U.S. citizens are eligible for a Clare Booth Luce
Endowed Chair that provides additional research funding throughout their
pre-tenure probationary period. Colby faculty are afforded professional
travel funding, and can apply for divisional research grants and

summer research-assistant funding on a competitive basis. More information

collaborating institutions can be found at:
