RESEARCH ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
GEOTHERMAL SPECIALIST (TENURE TRACK)
NEVADA BUREAU OF MINES AND GEOLOGY
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO
The Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG)
at the University of Nevada, Reno seeks applicants
with expertise in geothermal energy research. Nevada
is one of the most exciting regions in the world to do
research in the geosciences and one of the best in the
U.S. for the study of geothermal resources.
Position Responsibilities: The primary respon-
sibilities of this position will be to develop broad
programs in research and education in the field
of geothermal energy while serving as Director of
the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy.
The applicant is expected to conduct a nation-
ally competitive research program that will
include innovative approaches to understanding
the complexities of fluid flow in the crust with a
concentration on Nevada and the surrounding
Great Basin region. The successful candidate will
also be expected to contribute to the development
of datasets and reports on Nevada’s geothermal
resources, maintain geothermal databases as part
of NGDS (National Geothermal Data System),
and provide state resource assessments. Education
will include teaching courses in geothermal related
topics in the Dept. of Geological Sciences and Engi-
neering (DGSE), supervising graduate students, and
contributing to developing a geothermal curric-
ulum. Research and educational efforts will involve
multi-departmental and multi-institutional efforts,
with scientists from academia, industry, other insti-
tutions, and government labs. The successful candi-
date will be asked to communicate effectively with
the public and community leaders regarding the
geothermal resources of Nevada.
Qualifications: Applicants must have a doctorate
in geology, geologic engineering, geophysics, or
a related geoscience field by the time of hire and a
demonstrated record of research on topics related
to geothermal energy as indicated by dissertation
research, industry experience, and/or peer-reviewed
publications. The successful candidate must have
at least 5 years of postdoctoral experience (either
in industry or academia) in geothermal research
in such areas as rock mechanics, 3D modeling,
geophysical techniques, reservoir engineering, and/
or geochemistry. Excellent communication skills,
as demonstrated in written application materials;
commitment to public service; potential for, or
established record of publications; and ability to
attract funding are essential. The successful candi-
date must also have demonstrated ability to develop/
coordinate programs and work in teams to accom-
plish major goals.
Because the individuals will be competing for
funding from a variety of sources, including industry
and federal agencies, for fundamental and applied
geoscience research (e.g., NSF, DOE, and USGS),
preference will be given to candidates who explain
