The Department of Earth Sciences and Science Education at Buffalo State College (SUNY) seeks to fill a tenure-track position in Earth and Space Systems beginning September, 2008. The area of specialty in this field is open, but we seek a qualified Geologist/Earth Systems Scientist with expertise to complement and strengthen our current programs in Geology, Earth Sciences, and Earth Science Education. The successful candidate will be a scientist who is qualified to teach Introductory Astronomy each semester as well as other Earth and Space Systems courses on a rotating schedule, such as Introductory Geology and upper-division astronomy courses.

A Ph.D. in geosciences at the time of appointment is required, as is a demonstrated commitment to undergraduate education, including providing field and research experiences for students in the area of Earth and Space Systems. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a research program that involves mentoring undergraduate students conducting their own research and must be committed to working with pre- and in-service Earth Science teachers. Preferred qualifications include prior undergraduate-level teaching experience.
