Engineering a world of possibilities John D. Haun Chair Endowed Professorship
THE OPPORTUNITY:
The Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines (Mines) is seeking highly qualified applicants for the John D. Haun Endowed Professor of Energy Geoscience in Geology and Geological Engineering. We invite applications for an Associate Professor or Professor in Geology and Geological Engineering who has demonstrated teaching experience and expertise in Energy Geology, ideally applied to the emerging energy transition resources (e.g., CCUS, sedimentary basin geothermal, helium, hydrogen, salt storage) and with a view towards subsurface systems.
We seek candidates for this Endowed Chair with proven abilities to strategically develop and lead large research programs, contribute to department and university leadership in research and education initiatives, and promote interdisciplinary collaboration across campus. The successful candidate will have an established research program and expertise in sedimentary systems, including but not limited to, the measurement, quantification, and simulation of subsurface processes and properties, and how those properties control the accumulation and accessibility of liquid and gas energy resources. This research should complement and enhance the Department's target areas for growth and excellence in research that supports the energy transition with potential to enhance collaborations with USGS scientists who will move to a new, 190,000 square-foot, Energy and Minerals Research Facility on the Mines campus in 2027.
The successful candidate will be expected to share in our mission to address the challenges of creating a sustainable global society by educating the next generation of geoscientists, engineers, and leaders, and by expanding the frontiers of geoscience knowledge through research. We highly value applicants with the ability to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries and secure research funding from a diverse array of sources, including but not limited to industry and federal agencies. For questions about this opportunity, contact the search chair, Eric Roberts (eric.roberts@mines.edu) or Department Head of Geology and Geological Engineering, Alexis Sitchler (asitchle@mines.edu).
