Teaching responsibilities are expected to include Tectonics with lab plus three other courses determined through discussion between the candidate and department. The latter will include a second lab course (please note that we do not require coverage of Structural Geology) and two non-lab courses (i.e. an introductory course and/or electives).

Applicants should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy, a summary of research plans, undergraduate and graduate transcripts, and two letters of reference to Tectonics 1-year Search, Geology Department, Pomona College, 185 E.

Review of completed applications will begin March 24th, 2008 and will continue until the position is filled. Pomona College is an equal opportunity employer, and we especially invite applications from women and members of under-represented groups.
