Specifically, we seek a new colleague who can deliver undergraduate training in Geographical Information Systems and digital mapping. The successful candidate may also be asked to contribute to the delivery of our applied geophysics, ore petrogenesis, resource exploration and/or structural geology modules and experience in some or all these fields is desirable.
