The Department of Geology at San José State University invites applications for a tenure-track position in any area of Structural Geology/Tectonics (e.g., tectonic evolution of orogens, structural analysis of basins, arcs, subduction complexes, and fault and/or shear zone processes). Scholars with expertise in field and other observational or analytical techniques (e.g., geochronology, remote sensing) are especially welcome to apply. A Ph.D. degree in the Geosciences/Earth Sciences is required, postdoctoral experience is desirable, and a proven record of excellence in teaching or evidence of promise for excellence in teaching is expected. Research should complement departmental strengths in active tectonics, applied geology, and field geology. Applicants should include a two-page statement of teaching interests and experience, a two-page statement of the candidate’s experience and/or future plans to promote equity, inclusion, and diversity in their teaching and research, and a two-page statement describing the candidate’s plans to engage undergraduate and MS students in research.
