Hi Frank and others, UF remains compliant with all federal hiring statutes. More specifically, the Department of Geological Sciences is committed to maintaining an environment that welcomes diversity of ability, class, ethnicity/race, gender identity, and expression. We would whole heartedly welcome applicants from any LGBTQ+ group. I hope that helps, and for any questions that a candidate would like to discuss more privately, I would encourage them to contact the search committee chair, Dr. David Foster (dafoster@ufl.edu<mailto:dafoster@ufl.edu>).
