experience with such investigations, in addition to an academic background,

standing. 

Evidence of excellence in teaching will be provided through teaching
accomplishments, the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application
including a strong teaching statement, sample course syllabi, and the
teaching evaluations, as well as strong letters of reference. The successful
candidate will be expected to teach introductory geoscience courses and
graduate and upper level undergraduate courses in fields related to their

students. Candidates must display evidence of excellence in both teaching
and research.
