Lakehead University, Thunder Bay Campus, invites applications for one
tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor in the general
area of structural geology and tectonics in the Department of Geology. The
position may commence as early as January 1, 2025, or no later than August
1, 2025.
The Department is home to four tenured and tenure-track faculty members in
the Faculty of Science and Environmental Studies and offers undergraduate
and graduate programs in Geology, Environmental Earth Science, and Water
Resource Science. It has a well-established national and international
research reputation with strengths in economic geology, geochemistry,
petrology, structural geology, tectonics, early Earth
ocean-atmosphere-terrestrial systems, and biogeochemistry. We are a small
department with a dynamic focus on experiential learning and have strong
connections with local industry and government. Lakehead University has
several centralized labs to support research, including the Lakehead
University Environmental Laboratory, and the Lakehead University
Instrumentation Lab. Instrumentation available for the successful
candidate’s use includes ICP-OES and MS, a high-resolution FESEM-EDX
system, TEM, XRD, a fluid inclusion stage with IR, several spectroscopy
systems, state-of-the-art microscopes with digital imagers, and assorted
other instrumentation and equipment to support field activities. Also
available to the successful candidate is access to the department’s
lapidary facility, which is staffed by two full-time technicians.

We especially welcome applicants with research interests in the broad area
of structural geology and tectonics, who will take a field-based approach
and will augment field observations and data with quantitative analysis,
laboratory experiments, and/or analog/computational modeling. Preference
will be given to candidates with expertise complementary to existing
department strengths in ore deposit studies, igneous petrology,
sedimentology, and Precambrian geology.
Qualified applicants must have a Ph.D. in geology and a proven record of
excellence in research and teaching. The successful applicant will be
expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in structural geology,
tectonics,
metamorphic petrology, and mapping techniques, and contribute to our field
schools. The ability and willingness to teach courses outside of the main
area of interest will be considered an asset. Experience with experiential
learning or alternative modes of course delivery is highly desired. The
candidate will also establish a dynamic and externally funded program of
research. Other duties include student mentorship and supervision, and
professional service for the department, the University, and the community.

programs and cutting-edge research. Our campuses are in Thunder Bay on the
