[Stephen Schellenberg]

The Department of Geological Sciences and the Environmental Sciences
Program at San Diego State University invite applications from associate or
full professor candidates to join the program as a tenured full professor,
either serving as incoming chair or expecting to serve as chair in coming
years. We encourage applications from established professionals across the
geosciences, particularly in the disciplinary areas of geomorphology,
neotectonics, mineralogy/petrology, geoinformatics, geodesy, geophysics,
and environmental sciences. In addition to offering undergraduate and
master degrees in Geological Sciences, the department coordinates an
Environmental Sciences undergraduate degree and partners with the UCSD
Scripps Institution of Oceanography in a joint doctoral program in
Earthquake Science and Applied Geophysics. The successful candidate will be
expected to maintain a vigorous, externally-funded research program that
actively engages undergraduate and graduate students and directly
contributes to the advancement of their discipline. Applicants should
articulate their vision for engaging in the department’s development,
sustainability, and leadership as the societal role of the geosciences
continues to rapidly evolve, including how their research, teaching, and
leadership would complement existing departmental strengths and establish
future directions.

should submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, the names and contact
information for five references, and one-page statements on leadership,
teaching, research, and diversity/equity/inclusion. We seek applicants with
