These changes have set the direction of the department of many years to come. We are currently searching for another entry-level faculty member,
an outstanding individual in the broad areas of basin analysis and/or crustal/brittle structural geology. Full advertisement can be found here (closing date 11/3/2014)
The department is rebuilding, strengthening, and focusing on geology fundamentals. If you know someone who qualifies, who would like to be a part of our renewed geology effort, and would enjoy living in a vibrant college town, please let them know about this opportunity at the University of Arkansas.
