We seek an outstanding scholar and committed teacher who will establish an innovative research and teaching program in Economic Geology, complementing existing departmental strengths. The successful candidate examines geological processes that generate mineral resources, and explores their magmatic, metamorphic, fluid-related, and/or structural controls. Applicants who explore mineral and metal extraction from secondary sources and apply traditional and novel methods (e.g., remote sensing) in search of critical minerals are encouraged to apply. We expect candidates to show evidence of an existing or developing active, externally-funded, student-centered research program, and the ability and enthusiasm to teach introductory-level courses and upper-division/graduate courses to students from diverse ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to and participate in the life and development of the department, advise students, serve on committees, and participate in the broader university and disciplinary communities.

• Demonstrated commitment to teaching and/or teaching experience using effective, student-centered, active-learning and inquiry-based approaches
• Strong commitment to teaching and mentoring a diverse population of students at the undergraduate and Master's levels using effective student-centered, active-learning, and inquiry-based approaches
• Ability to teach Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology or Earth Materials, lower- and upper-division courses in Economic Geology, and other introductory level and/or upper-division undergraduate/graduate courses the candidate is qualified to teach
• A strong record of active research in the broad field of Economic Geology and the potential to supervise undergraduate and Master's level students in research in economic geology or closely related fields
• The ability to communicate effectively with an economically, ethnically and culturally diverse campus population
