LECTURER/SENIOR LECTURER IN ECONOMIC GEOLOGY OR HYDROGEOLOGY
Post description: The Department of Geology seeks qualified applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in either the field of Economic Geology or Hydrogeology to commence by 1 July 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The post-holder’s primary responsibilities are teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in either Economic and Exploration Geology or Hydrogeology and related geophysical methods. The incumbent is expected to develop a successful externally funded research program including postgraduate student supervision.
Requirements: The successful candidate will have a PhD and an appropriate research track record either in the field of Economic Geology or Hydrogeology. In Economic Geology we require experience in a range of metallic ore deposits. Experience in critical metals would be an advantage. Hydrogeology may include the physical and chemical aspects of groundwater research (e.g., groundwater exploration, development and monitoring). Previous work will have resulted in peer-reviewed publications in international journals as appropriate to the level of the post. Relevant teaching experience and MSc or PhD student (co-)supervision are requirements as appropriate to the levels of the post.
Please refer to the role profile and further particulars for the full requirements.
Opportunities: Start-up research funding is available from university sources. Economic Geologists find various collaboration opportunities with existing staff members and can access competitive in-house funding for doctoral and postdoctoral research fellowships. In Hydrogeology, close cooperation with a successful research group in the Institute of Water Research offers involvement in several ongoing and forthcoming groundwater projects. Career progress to Professor level is merit-based.
Diversity: Recognising that diversity is important in achieving excellence, Rhodes University strongly encourages South African members of underrepresented designated groups as well as persons with disabilities to apply. Qualified spouses and partners of existing staff members are also encouraged to apply.
