to our general education teaching efforts (e.g. Earth, Energy, and the
Environment; Physical Geology, the Dynamic Earth; Earth Resources and the
Environment; or a new course of their design).

The faculty member will have access to robust field and laboratory
instruments within the School of Geosciences as well as several user
facilities across campus, including the  Samuel Roberts Noble Microscopy
Laboratory,  Kessler Field Site,  Stable Isotope Measurement Facility , and
the Mass Spectrometry, Metabolics, and Proteomics Lab.

program in hydrogeoscience
·      Familiarity with effective teaching practices and mentoring
approaches that support students from a wide range of backgrounds
·      Commitment to teaching undergraduate and graduate courses that
engage students as they explore geoscience, provide the skills and
knowledge needed to succeed in the geoscience workforce, and encourage
students to become active members of the scientific community

 PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
·      Experience leading collaborative projects and working with
interdisciplinary teams
·      Established publication record in hydrogeoscience
·      Demonstrated teaching record
