Colby College is seeking a Geologist to fill a one-semester position as Visiting Assistant Professor or Instructor of Geology to begin February 1, 2013. The successful candidate will be a broadly trained geologist whose expertise includes mineralogy. Candidates should either have a Ph.D. or be an ABD candidate. Applicants should have a strong commitment to undergraduate education.
Teaching responsibilities will include an intermediate-level mineralogy course with laboratory and a non-majors geology course without lab in an area of the candidate's interest and expertise. Familiarity with liberal arts colleges is desirable.
