I’d like to draw your attention to a cluster hire in the Dept. of Geosciences at Texas Tech University (TTU). The theme is “Earth and Human Connections” and the aim is to bring aboard four assistant professors who can link across disciplines. Please note that three of the positions are ready to be filled by members of our community. Specifically, the Physical Geography position (which calls for a specialist in land-change science and geomorphology), the Human Geography position (calling for human-environmental interactions), and the Shallow Geophysics position (with a focus on geohazards). A link to the ads can be found here (https://www.depts.ttu.edu/geosciences/about/facultypositions.php), and with the flyer attached:
The application deadline is coming up: December 5. The search will be ongoing until the positions are filled.
The application calls for statements of research, teaching, and commitment to DE&I. The latter is important at TTU, a Tier-1 minority-serving institution. I am providing imbedded links below for schools that provide resources that can be used to help shape DE&I statements:
- UCSD (https://facultydiversity.ucsd.edu/_files/c2d-guidelines.pdf),
- Oregon (https://provost.uoregon.edu/sites/provost1.uoregon.edu/files/2021-05/research-pdf-2.pdf),
- Vanderbilt (https://cft.vanderbilt.edu/guides-sub-pages/developing-and-writing-a-diversity-statement/),
- UCSF (https://facultyacademicaffairs.ucsf.edu/academic-personnel/academic-review-and-advancement/Contributions-to-Diversity-Equity-and-Inculsion-Guidelines-for-the-Development-of-Statements-for-UCSF-Faculty.pdf)
If you have any questions about these positions, or TTU Geosciences in general, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Sincerely,
