<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#333333">The Department of Geological Sciences at New Mexico State University invites applications for the position of Department Head and Full Professor with tenure. This is a 12-month
position starting on July 1, 2024. We seek an inspiring leader with vision and long-term commitment to teaching and research excellence for a diverse student body population. Our department currently has five faculty, two staff members, an undergraduate program
that offers a B.S. degree with concentrations in Geological Sciences, Earth and Environmental Science, and Earth Science Education, and a Master’s degree program with approximately 12 graduate students. The Department Head also oversees the director of the
Zuhl Natural History Museum located on the NMSU campus. We are particularly interested in someone who will complement our existing specialties in Sedimentology/Stratigraphy, Mineralogy/Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Tectonics/Structural Geology/Geochronology.
NMSU lies within the southern Rio Grande rift, offering numerous opportunities for local research projects<b>.

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#333333">The Department Head will maintain high standards for research, grantsmanship, teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, faculty mentorship, and service, including
an emphasis on recruitment and retention, alumni relations, and fundraising. The successful candidate will be a role model for our department, a dynamic leader, and an advocate for the department both internally and externally to NMSU. The Department Head
should be committed to nurturing an environment that respects differences in culture, age, gender, race, ethnicity, physical ability, gender identity, and religious affiliation. Applicants should share this commitment to fostering DEI excellence to create
a welcoming and supporting environment in the classroom, department, and university. Candidates must have a Ph.D., have attained academic tenure or the equivalent, and preferably be a Full Professor or be qualified for promotion to this level at the time of
application. Strong management skills are important, as is effective communication and having a vision for the future of the department in the face of a changing job market for our graduates. Previous experience as a Department Head in an academic program
and field-based research interests are strongly desired.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
