Tenure-Track Faculty Position, Michigan Technological University. The Department of Geological Engineering and Sciences at Michigan Tech seeks applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant Professor level.

A Ph.D. in engineering or science is required. Candidates with demonstrated achievements commensurate with appointment at Associate or Full Professor will also be considered.  The ideal candidate would conduct research in quantitative and/or engineering aspects of natural hazards, such as modeling, monitoring, forecasting, mitigation, or communication and response. However, we will consider outstanding applicants who can either complement our department’s strengths (remote sensing, volcanology, hydrology, petroleum geology, and geophysics) or can help expand our department into new directions that show promise of future development.  Applicants will be evaluated based on their ability to obtain outside funding, publish scholarly research, and succeed in teaching.

Michigan Tech has a total student population of about 6300 and is located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a pristine area on the south shore of Lake Superior. The department is committed to a strong educational focus and values basic and applied interdisciplinary research. Undergraduate and graduate programs are offered in Geology, Geological Engineering and Applied Geophysics. Interested candidates can learn more about the department faculty, research, and educational programs at www.geo.mtu.edu.

Applicants should send a single PDF document containing a detailed curriculum vitae, a statement of research capabilities and interests, a statement of teaching experience and interests, and the names and complete contact information for at least three professional references.

Applications should be e-mailed to geosearch@mtu.edu. Candidates who also identify themselves as interested in a broader Michigan Technological University faculty hiring initiative in Sustainability are invited to send a separate application as described at www.mtu.edu/sfhi.
