Tenure-Track position in Geology or Earth Science

Berea College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in
Geology/Earth Science (or closely related field) starting fall 2018.
Teaching responsibilities will consist of core introductory geology
courses such as Physical Geology, more advanced Geology/Earth Science
courses in the applicant’s area of expertise, and eventual
contributions to Berea’s general studies program. While Berea
College’s Geology program has been inactive recently, its long history
started nearly a century ago and has produced many successful
geologists. The successful applicant will have a Ph.D. in hand, help
rebuild the Geology Program, and begin teaching and pursuing
undergraduate research in Berea College’s brand new Margaret A.
Cargill Natural Sciences and Health Building, slated to open in summer
2018.

Berea College is committed in its mission to provide a quality
education to high-ability students of limited economic means, to
foster interracial and intercultural education, and to serve the
Appalachian region. Berea seeks faculty committed to excellence in
teaching, invested in scholarship and their discipline, dedicated to
involving students in research, and who are also supportive of Berea’s
core mission.

Interested applicants should send a curriculum vitae, graduate and
undergraduate academic transcripts, a statement of teaching
philosophy, research proposal, and three letters of recommendation to
geologysearch at berea.edu . Applicants should also complete and send the
Faculty Application available at http://www.berea.edu/FacAppalong with
other materials. Review of materials will begin November 15, 2017, and
continue until the position is filled.

Berea College achieved national distinction as the first coeducational
and interracial college in the South. With an emphasis on service to
the people of Appalachia and beyond, Berea enrolls 1,600 students from
40 states and 70 countries. The College has a longstanding commitment
to interracial education; here, people of different races seek to
learn from and about each other, while also living together. Berea is
among the most racially diverse private liberal arts colleges in the
United States. It admits only students whose families are unable to
afford the high cost of tuition and awards each of them a Tuition
Promise Scholarship, meaning no student ever pays tuition.  Berea’s
students excel in the College’s supportive but demanding academic
environment, and many are the first in their families to graduate from
college. The College is one of nine federally recognized Work
Colleges, and all students hold a position in which they work 10-12
hours per week. *Washington Monthly* Magazine has consistently ranked
Berea in the top 3 of Liberal Arts Colleges for its success in
educating and graduating academically talented, low-income students
who become service-oriented leaders in their professions and
communities; in 2016 and 2017, the magazine ranked it number 1.

Located where the Bluegrass Region meets the Cumberland Mountains, the
town of Berea (pop. 15,000) lies forty miles south of Lexington and is
approximately two hours from Cincinnati, Louisville, and Knoxville.

*Berea College, in light of its mission in the tradition of impartial
love and social equality, welcomes all people of the earth to learn
