The Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Wyoming invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the broad field of isotope geology. This appointment will most likely be made at the Assistant Professor level beginning in August 2009.

We encourage applications from promising scientists that apply radiogenic and/or stable isotopes to problems in the fields of geologic or environmental processes, including but not restricted to topics as diverse as aqueous/environmental geochemistry, climate change, crustal and mantle petrogenesis, mineral deposits, paleoaltimetry, sedimentary provenance, and structural geology. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a research program in their field, and contribute to the graduate and undergraduate teaching missions of the Department of Geology and Geophysics.

The Department has strength in radiogenic isotopes and thermochronology, including laboratories with TIMS instrumentation and fission-track dating facilities. Furthermore, the Department supports a full range of aqueous analytical instrumentation, an electron microprobe, and SEM. Additional information on the Department Geology and Geophysics can be obtained at http://home.gg.uwyo.edu/. There is a well-equipped University stable isotope facility with multiple IRMS linked to TC/EA, EA, GasBench, and other peripheral devices (http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/sif/).

Applications should include a statement of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information for at least three individuals who can provide letters of evaluation. Review of completed applications will begin September 24, 2008. Send an electronic copy of your application to: Ms. Carol Pribyl at [log in to unmask]; if you have additional application materials to send, please direct them to the Isotope Geology Search Committee, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Wyoming, 1000 East University Avenue, Dept. 3006, Laramie, WY  82071-2000.

The University of Wyoming is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
