Tenure-Track Faculty Position, Michigan Technological University. The 
Department of Geological Engineering and Sciences at Michigan Tech seeks 
applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant Professor 
level. A Ph.D. in engineering or science is required. Candidates with 
demonstrated achievements commensurate with appointment at Associate or 
Full Professor will also be considered. The ideal candidate would 
conduct research in quantitative and/or engineering aspects of natural 
hazards, such as modeling, monitoring, forecasting, mitigation, or 
communication and response. However, we will consider outstanding 
applicants who can either complement our department’s strengths (remote 
sensing, volcanology, hydrology, petroleum geology, and geophysics) or 
can help expand our department into new directions that show promise of 
future development. Applicants will be evaluated based on their ability 
to obtain outside funding, publish scholarly research, and succeed in 
teaching.

Michigan Tech has a total student population of about 6300 and is 
located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a pristine area on the south 
shore of Lake Superior. The department is committed to a strong 
educational focus and values basic and applied interdisciplinary 
research. Undergraduate and graduate programs are offered in Geology, 
Geological Engineering and Applied Geophysics. Interested candidates can 
learn more about the department faculty, research, and educational 
programs at www.geo.mtu.edu.

Applicants should send a single PDF document containing a detailed 
curriculum vitae, a statement of research capabilities and interests, a 
statement of teaching experience and interests, and the names and 
complete contact information for at least three professional references. 
Applications should be e-mailed to geosearch at mtu.edu. Candidates who 
also identify themselves as interested in a broader Michigan 
Technological University faculty hiring initiative in Sustainability are 
invited to send a separate application as described at www.mtu.edu/sfhi. 
Applications received by February 15, 2008 will receive the fullest 
attention. Michigan Tech University is an equal opportunity educational 
institution/equal opportunity employer.
