Assistant Professor Research – Geologic Mapping and Mineral Resources

Louisiana Geological Survey at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA

*Job Description:*
The Louisiana Geological Survey at the Louisiana State University invites
applications for the
position of Assistant Professor, Research in its Geologic Mapping and
Mineral Resources
section. This position focuses on the documentation, analysis, and
interpretation of Cenozoic
geology and geomorphology of the state. Topics of investigation include
updating of
stratigraphic correlations and nomenclature, studies of sedimentology and
subsurface facies
architecture, sedimentary petrology and provenance, structural geology, and
Tertiary‐
Quaternary sedimentary sequences of the Lower Mississippi Embayment, Gulf
Coastal Plain,
and the active Mississippi Delta. Topics of economic importance concern
documentation and
evaluation of industrial mineral reserves, geo‐environmental sensitivities,
subsurface analysis of
geologic carbon sequestration potential, and geologic hazards.

Field documentation and data gathering involves strenuous outdoor physical
activities such as
hiking, carrying heavy field equipment, operating a manual coring device,
operating geophysical
equipment, and collection and proper documentation of rock, sediment, and
soil samples, all in
an environment of densely vegetated, wet, and uneven terrain under
temperatures ranging
from 90 F to 40 F. Publications and geologic maps meeting USGS standards
are produced using modern GIS‐based software.

The position of Research Professor is a non‐tenure track line with research
emphasis and
opportunity for rank advancement. Re‐appointment is subject to satisfactory
annual
performance evaluations.

*Qualifications and Characteristics*
Requirements: A PhD in Earth Science / Geology with recent graduate or
professional
experience in topics relevant to Cenozoic sedimentary geology and
geomorphic expression of
geologic features. Experience in the field study of sedimentary geology and
surficial mapping as
reflected in publications, abstracts, and/or dissertation.
