The Geology Department at Pomona College, the founding member of the Claremont Colleges, invites applications for a 3-year, non-tenure-track position beginning July 1, 2020 to teach courses and assist with senior thesis supervision.
We seek a candidate eager to interact with talented undergraduates in a liberal arts college environment where teaching and research are emphasized. Annual teaching responsibilities are expected to include Sedimentology and Earth History, each with a lab, plus Introductory Geology and one other non-lab course determined through discussion between the candidate and department.
Pomona College and the Geology Department support equal access to higher education. Fifty-two percent of our current cohort of first-year students (class of 2023) self-identify as domestic students of color, 11% are international and 19% are first generation college students. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach and mentor exceptional students of diverse backgrounds—utilizing pedagogical practices that are rigorous, inclusive, and which promote academic equity.
