Denison University invites applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level in the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences, to begin in August 2025. We seek a broadly trained scientist engaged in the study of Natural Hazards such as (but not limited to) earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, impacts, and more. Successful candidates are expected to be outstanding teacher-scholars and contribute to the continued growth of the Department and College.

We are seeking a colleague who is committed to teaching excellence in the liberal arts tradition, has broad interests beyond their individual specialty, and will provide a balance of classroom, field, and laboratory experiences for our students. Candidates must have the desire and ability to teach courses at all levels of the curriculum with an emphasis on (1) Structural Geology & Tectonics, (2) Natural Hazards, and (3) Introductory Earth & Environmental Sciences. The teaching load is 3 courses per academic year. Denison is a fully residential campus and all classes are held in-person and on-campus.

Successful candidates are also expected to maintain a vibrant, ongoing research program that actively incorporates undergraduate students in a liberal arts setting. The candidate's research specialty should complement and expand the department's existing strengths in sedimentology, geomorphology, petrology, and biogeochemistry.

Contributions to the life of the department, institution, and the larger community are an essential part of Denison’s mission. We anticipate our new colleague will regularly engage in service activities within these communities.
