Hello,

The Geology Department at Colorado College is hiring a technical director
to manage our diverse array of instrumentation. We are a primarily
undergraduate institution with an active research program and an emphasis
on course based research; much of our instrumentation supports student
theses as well as faculty research projects.

The Technical Director is responsible for ensuring the effective operation,
maintenance, and support of the Geology Department’s laboratories, field
equipment, instrumentation, and computing resources. This position provides
technical expertise, training, and support to students and faculty while
overseeing a diverse array of specialized scientific and instructional
equipment, including a scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray
fluorescence (XRF) instrumentation, and petrographic and stereo microscopes
(for full list of facilities/instruments, see:
https://www.coloradocollege.edu/academics/dept/geology/about-us/facilities.html).
The Technical Director works closely with faculty to support teaching,
research, and field-based learning activities and reports directly to the
Chair of the Geology Department. Colorado College supports ongoing
professional development through workshops, conferences, manufacturer
training programs, and other educational opportunities related to
instrumentation, software, and emerging technologies.

The full job ad and application instructions can be found here:
https://jobs.coloradocollege.edu/jobs/technical-director-on-campus-colorado-united-states.

Applications are due September 14th for full consideration, and consist of
a resume, cover letter, and contact information for three references. Any
questions can be directed to the search chair Sarah Schanz (

Best,
----
