[ES_JOBS_NET] Faculty position in Geoscience of Critical Minerals at Arizona State University

[Steven Semken]

Faculty Position Open - Arizona State University
ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE/PROFESSOR - GEOSCIENCE OF CRITICAL MINERALS
The School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) at Arizona State University (ASU) welcomes applications for a new faculty tenure-track position with research and teaching interests in the geoscience of critical mineral resources. Specifically, we seek applicants who are broadly trained geoscientists specializing in research about the origin, formation, evolution, and distribution of mineral resources of societal value. This will be a tenured/tenure-track hire, meaning that geoscientists at any career level are welcome to apply.
We seek a creative, bold, and innovative scholar who conducts research relevant to critical minerals, is motivated broadly by basic geoscience and by sustainability, and is enthusiastic about interdisciplinary research to solve problems, in the SESE mold. The successful applicant will develop a collaborative research program that builds on strengths within SESE (e.g., geoscience, planetary science, astrophysics, and systems engineering) and ASU (e.g., sustainability, economics, and geopolitics of critical minerals). The successful applicant will also be a flexible and motivated instructor, capable of teaching SESE core geoscience courses as well as courses in their specialty, and of teaching in the field, classroom, laboratory, and online.
The application deadline is February 2, 2026.
Applications will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis for a reserve pool. Applications in the reserve pool may then be reviewed in the order in which they were received until the position is filled.
Information and application are available online at:
