Hello Cryolist,
The Environmental Sciences Department at the University of Montana Western seeks an innovative, passionate, educator-researcher in the area of geophysics applied to environmental science. The position is a full-time, tenure-track appointment at the assistant professor level. The University of Montana Western values diversity, and applicants from diverse backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a teaching approach that will use Montana Western's unique immersion scheduling model (Experience One), where students take, and faculty teach a single class at a time for 18 instructional days. Authentic practice in the discipline is the mission of the campus and we seek a talented and creative educator who can apply their research directly to undergraduate learning through fieldwork and projects.
The Environmental Sciences Department consists of an interdisciplinary group of four environmental geoscientists dedicated to getting students into the field to work on real projects of value to society. We are good at what we do, having recently ranked the 5th best environmental sciences program in the nation by Schools.com. We prepare our students for careers with natural resource management agencies, land conservation organizations, and private industries as environmental scientists, managers, sustainability specialists, and naturalists. Post-graduation placements from our programs are extremely high. We also foster a family atmosphere, which we consider essential to student success and a positive faculty work environment. We care deeply about each other and support one another in daily life. To strengthen our bonds, we spend time together in the surrounding Rocky Mountains. We are a team, and we seek a new team member.
