<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">The College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State is seeking an interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholar to research and develop a contextual co-curriculum to support diversity and inclusion in geosciences field camp. There are many
factors that contribute to the persistent lack of diversity in the geosciences; the goal of this project is to address those particular issues related to field camp and field culture. Rather than abandon field camp as an integral part of geosciences undergraduate
education, our shared goal is to facilitate its evolution to meet the needs of the future by revisiting the past.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of this postdoctoral research project is to look critically at the policies, practices, and ideals of historical geologists and geographers during the Westward Expansion, particularly along the route of the Penn State Geosciences
Field Camp, and the propagation of these values into contemporary geosciences culture. The traditional knowledge of Native Americans who were deeply connected to these landscapes long before the arrival of Europeans in North America will also be highlighted.
Deliverables will include an introductory video to place the cross-country journey of 21<sup class="">st</sup> century field camp in the context of 19<sup class="">th</sup> century geological exploration and exploitation, an educational module on “Field Camp
and the Western Expansion” (in the style of a GeoContext module) to be shared broadly, and one or more half-day field exercises (e.g. Dead Indian Pass / Chief Joseph Scenic Byway in Wyoming; Hayden Valley and Mount Doane in Yellowstone) to bring context and
reflection to the geosciences field camp experience. The postdoc will join the Penn State field camp in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah during the summer of their appointment.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">This position will be funded for one year from the date of hire and provides an annual salary of $60,000. The appointment may be extended for 6 additional months pending satisfactory performance. Information about the benefits associated
with this appointment are located at <a href="https://www.research.psu.edu/opa/benefits" class="">https://www.research.psu.edu/opa/benefits</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">A PhD in geosciences, geography, or related field is required by the start date of employment.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">For full consideration, candidates must apply online and include the following materials with their application: 1) a cover letter describing the applicant’s academic and/or lived experience relevant to this project, 2) a one-page statement
of diversity, equity, and inclusion philosophy and contributions, 3) a CV, and 4) names and contact information for 3 references. The application is available online at: <a href="https://psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Academic/job/University-Park-Campus/Post-Doctoral-Scholar-in-Geosciences---Geography---Earth-Science-Education---Diversity--Equity--and-Inclusion_REQ_0000022655-1" class="">https://psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Academic/job/University-Park-Campus/Post-Doctoral-Scholar-in-Geosciences---Geography---Earth-Science-Education---Diversity--Equity--and-Inclusion_REQ_0000022655-1</a>.</p>
