Professor tenure-track position in structural geol-
ogy to start Fall 2018. The successful candidate

ates, and actively contribute to service and out-
reach initiatives that advance the department, col-
lege, and university. Candidates will be expected
to instruct the following courses: Structural
Geology, Plate Tectonics, Basin Analysis, Physi-
cal Geology, Natural Disasters, and other courses
as deemed fitting. All submissions must be made
electronically through Tarleton’s employment site,
https://jobs.tarleton.edu. Review of applications
will begin February 1, 2018, and continue until the
