paleonet Temp. Teaching Position

["_._." <corvid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Due to a sudden move by a faculty member of our department into a nearly
full-time administrative position, the Department of Geosciences at
Indiana-Purdue University at Fort Wayne has a temporary teaching position
available.  The job is for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a
second year if agreeable both to the employee and the  department.

We seek somebody to teach introductory geology  lecture and labs.  Salary
would be c. $32,000 plus medical benefits, for 6 credit hours each semester.

The specialty of the person we hire is open, but because we are
paleontologists, we would naturally enjoy seeing it go to another paleo
person.  The job would be perfect for somebody who has just finished up and
hasn't found a tenure-track position yet, or maybe somebody who is close to
finishing PhD work.  Although teaching the courses is the big thing we
need, there are certainly  research opportunities at IPFW, and we encourage
persons who might be interested in collaborating with us on some of our
projects, or who have interesting strat/paleo projects of their own, to
apply.  Farlow works on vertebrate paleontology and ichnology, and Crow on
reef paleoecology.

We need to move pretty quickly to get this position filled for the Fall
semester, so if you are interested let us know as soon as possible.  The
person to contact is our chair, Dr. Anne Argast; her email address is
argast@ipfw.edu
