Two Tenure-Track Assistant Professorship positions in Economic Geology and Mineral Deposits at the University of Toronto. The Department of Earth Sciences, University of Toronto is seeking two outstanding individuals for appointment at its St. George (downtown) campus at the rank of Assistant Professor in fields of economic geology and mineral deposits. The appointments will commence on July 1, 2018. The successful candidates should address ore genesis and exploration using cross-disciplinary research with innovative field-based, experimental or computational methods. We welcome applications from candidates in the research areas of petrology, structural geology, sedimentology and geochemistry or any combination of these. Applications must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae including a complete list of publications, electronic copies of three most significant contributions, a brief outline of proposed research, and a statement of teaching philosophy and interests. The deadline for receipt of completed applications (including letters of recommendation) is November 20, 2017. Detailed information for application can be found at: https://utoronto.taleo.net/careersection/10050/jobdetail.ftl?job=1701756&tz=GMT-04%3A00
