We seek a broadly-trained scientist-educator who is strongly committed to teaching and student/faculty research at the undergraduate level. The teaching component consists of seven courses per year in a 3-1-3 format. Teaching responsibilities will include regular participation in our introductory-level courses in Geological Oceanography and Earth Systems History, and course(s) in the applicant's area of expertise, which could include Paleontology, Geobiology, or other.
