Description:

The College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences invites applications for a Tenure Track Assistant/Associate/Full Professor (Chair in Mineral Resources Geology) position.

The College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position to fill the newly created Barrow Family Endowed Chair in Mineral Resource Geology. Areas of research focus could be rooted in field-and laboratory-based investigations of ore genesis, evolution, and exploration. Specific areas of interest include the role of fluids in crustal processes, structural and tectonic controls on magma and fluid flow, magmatic and hydrothermal processes that determine the concentration and dispersion of mineralized materials, geothermal or active magmatic or metamorphic systems, or related fields. Research strategies should integrate field mapping and investigations with petrology, structural geology, remote-sensing, high-temperature and isotope geochemistry, and/or other lab-based or modelling approaches.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated capabilities in-, and high potential for, teaching and research excellence that will inspire the next generation of Geology undergraduate and graduate students. They will contribute to teaching undergraduate courses such as mineralogy, petrology-petrography-optical mineralogy, and field geology, as well as graduate courses in their specialty. Strong preference will be given to early or mid-career individuals with a demonstrated capacity to develop or sustain a vibrant, externally-funded research program that will maintain our international reputation in Mineral Resources Geology, robust connections with industry partners, and a tradition of creative research and teaching in Geology and Geophysics and cognate fields.

For academic-track positions, it is CEOAS policy to hire as a 12-month, 0.75 FTE (equivalent to the traditional 9-month, 1.0 FTE) and confer indefinite tenure when promoted to Associate Professor.

OSU maintains an institution-wide commitment to diversity, multi-culturalism, and community, and seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce and student body that includes members of historically under-represented groups. We strive to build and sustain a welcoming and supportive campus environment.
