[ES_JOBS_NET] Assistant or Associate Professor of Geology, Colorado College

[Rebecca Barnes]

*Assistant or Associate Professor, Geology*

MISSION: At Colorado College our goal is to provide the finest liberal arts
education in the country. Drawing upon the adventurous spirit of the Rocky
Mountain West, we challenge students, one course at a time, to develop
those habits of intellect and imagination that will prepare them for
learning and leadership throughout their lives.

Colorado College is seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty
position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor beginning in
August 2019. We seek a dynamic scientist and teacher with the following
characteristics:
(1) Expertise in a subfield(s) of geomorphology/surface processes that
includes, but is not limited to: fluvial geomorphology, glacial/Quaternary
geomorphology, critical zone geomorphology, or tectonic geomorphology.
(2) An educational and/or research program that emphasizes field
observations in conjunction with laboratory and/or modeling analyses.
Experience with geologic investigations in the Rocky Mountains/western
United States, and acquaintance with the geologic evolution of the Colorado
Rocky Mountains are desirable.
(3) A strong background in and ability to teach geospatial and quantitative
approaches such as GIS, numerical models, or geoinformatics, and to utilize
novel measurement techniques, models, and datasets.

The successful candidate is expected to have research and teaching
interests that can strengthen departmental connections with other science
programs at Colorado College (e.g. environmental science, biology,
chemistry, mathematics, and physics). The candidate is also expected to
spend extended time in the field and the classroom engaging with highly
motivated undergraduate students as both a teacher and mentor.

The College actively promotes an engaging and inclusive environment in
which students and employees of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and
perspectives can learn and work. Applicants should describe the ways in
which they can contribute to this goal in their cover letter.  Applications
should also include a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests
and teaching philosophy, a sample of scholarly publications, three letters
of recommendation, and a graduate school transcript. A Ph.D. is required.
One distinguishing feature of Colorado College is its Block plan, in which
professors teach, and students take, one course at a time. Each block is
three and a half weeks long, and professors teach six of the eight blocks
in an academic year. Applicants should provide evidence of teaching
effectiveness, if available.

Please submit application materials to
http://employment.coloradocollege.edu/postings/3473 by October 15, 2018.
