Department of Geology

By Lakehead University

Dead Line: April 30, 2022

The Department of Geology at Lakehead University invites applications for a Tenure Track Appointment. We are looking for a candidate to establish a dynamic and externally-funded program of research in Structural Geology at Lakehead University’s Thunder Bay campus. A strong interest in Economic Geology, particularly magmatic and hydrothermal ore deposits, is a significant asset. The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses for the Department of Geology. The position will commence August 1, 2021 at a rank commensurate with experience and qualifications.
 
For consideration, candidates will have:
 
  • An earned Ph.D. in Geology with demonstrated expertise in structural geology from a Ph.D. granting institution recognized by Canadian Universities, with the ability to apply this expertise to ore deposit studies;
  • A successful track record of high-quality research, and the communication of research through both traditional and non-traditional venues;
  • A demonstrated commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels;
  • Desire and ability to help build enrollment at the undergraduate and graduate levels;
  • Experience with experiential learning and online or alternative modes of course delivery is highly desired.
 
Preference will be given to candidates with expertise complementary to existing department strengths in ore deposit studies, sedimentology and Precambrian geology. Candidates are expected to offer introductory and advanced courses, supervise theses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and demonstrate excellence in both research and teaching.
