We seek an innovative geochronologist with expertise in developing and applying high-precision U-Pb petrochronological methods to
fundamental questions in the solid Earth sciences. Candidates applying geochronological approaches to problems across the full breadth of
hard-rock geology are welcome, including deep-time crustal evolution, tectonic tempos, igneous and metamorphic systems, ore deposit genesis,
and planetary differentiation. The successful candidate is expected to leverage the department's world-class analytical infrastructure and
capitalize on existing departmental strengths in tectonics, orebody knowledge, geophysics, and geochemistry. We welcome and expect an
openness to research collaboration within and beyond the department and UBC.

The successful candidate will have a Ph. D. in Earth
Science or a related discipline at the time of appointment and will have made, or show promise of making, impactful petrochronological
contributions to our understanding of the rates and timing of solid-Earth processes. Candidates should possess a strong record of research
productivity commensurate with their experience and be able to communicate a clear research vision. The successful candidate will be
expected to develop a robust, externally funded and internationally recognized research program, successfully supervise graduate students
and postdoctoral fellows, and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the Earth sciences. Although we recognize that candidates may have
varying levels of teaching experience, a willingness to engage in active learning strategies and innovative teaching at the undergraduate
level is expected. They will have a strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, to create a welcoming community for all,
particularly those who are historically, persistently, or systemically marginalized.

About EOAS and UBC

EOAS is Canada's largest and highest-ranked Earth Sciences department, ranked 13th globally in the latest QS World University Rankings.
It offers a uniquely interdisciplinary environment with internationally recognized excellence in research, innovative teaching, and
experiential learning spanning the full breadth of Earth, ocean, and atmospheric sciences. EOAS fosters a vibrant, collaborative community
that brings together expertise in geology, geophysics, oceanography, atmospheric science, hydrogeology, geological engineering, and
environmental science to advance understanding of the Earth system and address complex challenges related to natural resources, natural
hazards, climate, and the environment.

UBC's campuses are located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Syilx
(Okanagan) Peoples and of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and
Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh(Tsleil Waututh) Nations, and within one of the world's great natural laboratories. Direct access to the
North American Cordillera, including active volcanic arcs, deeply exhumed metamorphic complexes, Precambrian cratons, and world-class
mineral districts, provides exceptional opportunities for field-based research and experiential learning. Vancouver is a global centre for
mineral exploration, with a long history of collaboration between industry and UBC, particularly through the EOAS-hosted Mineral Deposit
Research Unit (MDRU). Consistently ranked among the world's most livable cities, Vancouver also offers unparalleled access to mountains, the
ocean, and a vibrant, culturally diverse urban environment.

Analytical Facilities

The successful
candidate will be expected to leverage core analytical facilities hosted within EOAS in support of their research and teaching
activities:

• Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research (PCIGR): A flagship facility for isotope
  geochemistry and geochronology with an extensive suite of instrumentation and experienced technical leadership. Capabilities include single
  zircon dating via both laser ablation ICP-MS and chemical abrasion-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (CA-TIMS, equipped with a full suite
  of 10¹³ resistors); dedicated class-100 clean laboratories to enable ultra-low blank Pb work (<0.2 pg Pb blanks); and a recently
  installed triple-quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-MS/MS).
• Electron Microbeam and X-ray Diffraction Facility (EMXDF): A state-of-the-art
  facility for micro-analytical characterization of geological and materials samples, featuring scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDS
  capabilities, electron microprobe (EPMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and cathodoluminescence imaging.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be expected to:

• Develop and sustain an internationally
  recognized, externally funded research program in geochronology with strong integration of mineralogy and petrology;
• Supervise and
  mentor graduate students and postdoctoral researchers;
• Teach undergraduate and graduate courses in their area of expertise, as well
  as broader courses within the EOAS curriculum
• Help sustain and continue to develop PCIGR, including its infrastructure and technical
  team;
• Engage in departmental, university, and professional service activities;
• Work collaboratively with EOAS faculty and
  research units (e.g. PCIGR, EMXDF and MDRU (Mineral Deposit Research Unit)), the broader UBC community, and with external partners,
  including industry, government, and Indigenous communities.

Qualifications The successful
candidate will have:

• PhD in Earth Sciences or a closely related field, completed by the time of
  appointment;
• Research focus including igneous and/or metamorphic processes;
• Evidence of excellence in the field of U-Pb
  geochronology via, for example, method development, technical papers, conference contributions;
• A strong record of research
  productivity commensurate with career stage, demonstrated by peer-reviewed publications;
• Demonstrated ability to attract external
  research funding, or clear potential to do so;
• Evidence of, or clear potential for, excellence in teaching and student
  supervision;
• A strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, to create a welcoming

community for all,
particularly those who are historically, persistently or systemically

marginalized.

Preferred:

• Hands-on
  experience with mass spectrometry and geochronological techniques;
• Expertise in electron microbeam techniques (EPMA,
  SEM-EDS);
• Postdoctoral research experience.

How to Apply

Applications must be submitted
electronically via Academic Jobs Online using the following link: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/32504

They should upload a
single PDF file that includes:

• a cover letter;
• a detailed curriculum vitae including list of
  publications;

• a
  diversity statement (1 page) describing your lived background experience (if comfortable), and your past experience and future plans
  regarding working with a diverse student body, and contributing to a culture of equity and inclusion;
• the names and contact
  information for three referees.

The closing date for applications is October 14^th, 2026. After the applications
close, referees will be contacted for those applicants selected for further consideration, and may be asked to provide letters within a
