Hi All (with apologies for cross-postings) The Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG) at the University of Nevada Reno is recruiting for a tenure-track faculty position at the Associate or Full Professor level to lead our Economic Geology program and become the new Director of the Ralph J. Roberts Center for Research in Economic Geology. We are looking for individuals with field and lab experience, including research studies related to the genesis, transport, and distribution of metals in the crust, the formation of precious, base, and/or critical mineral and metal deposits, fluid-rock interaction and the circulation of fluids, magmatic and hydrothermal processes, and/or exploration methods. Research must integrate one or more of the following disciplines: economic geology, structural geology, igneous petrology, and geochemistry. Responsibilities for this position will include: 1) managing the industry-funded, Ralph J. Roberts Center for Research in Economic Geology (CREG); 2) research on mineral deposits, focusing on the western US and Nevada’s enormous mineral wealth; 3) education via supervision of graduate students and teaching courses in Economic Geology; 4) serving as a spokesperson for the Economic Geology program at NBMG-UNR, requiring effective communication with the public and community leaders regarding the geology of Nevada and its mineral resources; 5) working independently as well as collaborating with NBMG faculty and staff, other geoscience units at UNR and in the region, and others in industry and government in developing funded projects and conducting research; 6) contributing to the development of datasets and reports on Nevada’s mineral resources; and 7) public outreach and service within the University and community.
