Geology: Visiting Assistant Professor - Geomorphology

The Geology Department at St. Lawrence University has an opening for a one-year Visiting Assistant Professor. We desire an individual with expertise in Geomorphology and, ideally, Hydrology/Hydrogeology, who will complement our existing strengths in Structural Geology, Sedimentology, Paleontology, Petrology and Geochemistry. The successful candidate will be expected to teach Geomorphology, if possible, Hydrology/Hydrogeology, and to assist in the teaching of our entry courses to the Geology program, in addition to advanced courses within their interest area.

We are a small, high quality, undergraduate program that emphasizes both field and laboratory aspects of the science. Our students are commonly involved with faculty in research and the nearby Adirondack Mountains, Canadian Shield, and St. Lawrence Valley offer rich opportunities for study. A high percentage of our majors advance to graduate programs. Each of the five faculty members in the department are involved in teaching introductory Geology courses and we encourage participation in interdisciplinary university programs.

Applicants preferably will have a Ph.D., but ABD candidates will also be considered, demonstrated ability in teaching, and a proven research record in their specialty. Interested candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, a letter of application expressing what the candidate feels she/he would contribute to the Geology program at St. Lawrence, and three letters of recommendation to: Dr. Catherine Shrady, Search Committee, Geology Department, St. Lawrence University, Canton, N.Y. 13617.

Application deadline is May 20, 2008 and all materials must be received at that time.

St. Lawrence University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
