[Elisabeth Hausrath]

  Tenure-track/tenured Assistant/Associate Geochronologist and Director of
the Nevada Isotope Geochronology Laboratory

The Department of Geoscience at the University of Nevada Las Vegas invites
applications for a full-time, tenure-track/tenured faculty position in
40Ar/39Ar geochronology, other radiogenic geochronologic systems, or
related fields at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. The
successful candidate will serve as the director of the Nevada Isotope
Geochronology Laboratory (NIGL). NIGL has a dedicated state-funded lab
manager that runs day-to-day operations, holds a MAP 215-50 mass
spectrometer with furnace and CO2 laser sources, and is housed in a
state-of-the-art LEED certified building dedicated to analytical
instrumentation, and which will have a complete multi-collector ICP-MS
facility for other radiogenic systems. We are particularly interested in
individuals who integrate geochronological investigations with innovative
geochemical or other analytical techniques in the pursuit of
interdisciplinary research. Opportunities for collaboration exist with
departmental groups focused on research in Solid Earth, Paleoclimatology,
Surficial Processes and Planets. In addition to NIGL, the department hosts
facilities that include electron microprobe, SEM, LA-ICP-MS, and upcoming
MCICP-MS instruments as well as stable isotope, fluid inclusion, imaging,
mineral separation, cryptotephra, and medical geology labs. The successful
candidate is expected to establish (Assistant-level), or expand upon
(Associate-level) a vigorous, externally funded research program; direct
and grow NIGL at UNLV; teach effectively at both undergraduate and graduate
levels; and perform service duties at all levels. The Geoscience Department
(https://geoscience.unlv.edu) has 21 faculty, ~240 undergraduate students,
and ~50 MS/PhD students. UNLV is a Carnegie top research status
institution, ranks among the nation’s most diverse campuses, and has
graduate programs rated among the nation’s top 100, including Geoscience.
This position requires a Ph.D. from a regionally accredited college or
university in Geoscience or a related discipline. Applicants seeking
appointments at the Associate Professor level with tenure must have a
significant record of transformative funded research and publications in
support of the rank and must be able to meet UNLV tenure requirements.
Salary is competitive with those at similarly situated institutions.
Position is contingent upon funding. The successful applicant could begin
as early as Fall, 2020. Application materials must include a cover letter,
curriculum vitae, proposed research plans (three page limit), statement of
teaching philosophy and interests (two page limit), a statement of past or
potential contributions to diversity (one page limit), and contact
information for five referees. Although this position will remain open
until filled, review of candidates’ materials will begin on January 9, 2020
and best consideration will be gained for materials submitted prior to that
date. The successful candidate will demonstrate support for diversity,
equity and inclusiveness as well as participate in maintaining a
respectful, positive work environment. UNLV is an EEO/AA/Vet/Disability
Employer. Materials should be addressed to Dr. Wanda Taylor, Geochronology
Search Committee Chair, and submitted at https://www.unlv.edu/jobs/openings
or through Geochronologist, Assistant/Associate Professor & Director of
Nevada Isotope Geochronology Laboratory, UNLV College of Sciences
