Geological Sciences and the Environmental Sciences Program at San Diego State
University invite applications from associate or full professor candidates to
join the program as a tenured full professor, either serving as incoming chair
or expecting to serve as chair in coming years. We encourage applications from
established professionals across the geosciences, particularly in the
disciplinary areas of geomorphology, neotectonics, mineralogy/petrology,
geoinformatics, geodesy, geophysics, and environmental sciences. In addition to
offering undergraduate and master degrees in Geological Sciences, the
department coordinates an Environmental Sciences undergraduate degree and
partners with the UCSD Scripps Institution of Oceanography in a joint doctoral
program in Earthquake Science and Applied Geophysics. The successful candidate
will be expected to maintain a vigorous, externally-funded research program
that actively engages undergraduate and graduate students and directly
contributes to the advancement of their discipline. Applicants should
articulate their vision for engaging in the department’s development,
sustainability, and leadership as the societal role of the geosciences
continues to rapidly evolve, including how their research, teaching, and
leadership would complement existing departmental strengths and establish
future directions. </font></span></p>
