ASSISTANT OR ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN ANALYTICAL GEOCHEMISTRY
The Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences, University of Tennessee, invites applications for a faculty position in Analytical Geochemistry. The position is for a full-time, tenure-line appointment at the Assistant or Associate Professor level that will preferably begin on 1 August 2026.
The selected candidate will develop a highly published and externally funded research program in analytical geochemistry, including isotopes and trace elements, and that includes supervision of undergraduate and graduate students, and laboratory technical staff. The candidate will provide primary oversight of a newly established ICP-MS laboratory facility, which includes new multi-collector and quadrupole ICP-MS instruments (ThermoFisher Neoma and iCAP TQ) and a laser ablation system (ESI NWR193). The candidate is expected to perform rank-appropriate departmental and university service and teach introductory, undergraduate and graduate courses in the candidate's specialization.
