The Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) performs the critical function of interpreting Wyoming’s geologic history and working to understand its geologic hazards and natural resources, such as water, minerals, and energy. We provide geology-related information needed to navigate the state’s economic and environmental challenges, and to benefit the people of Wyoming. Join our team of talented and dedicated staff to make a difference in a state with an area of 97,000 square miles exposing more than 3 billion years of geologic history, from the Wyoming Craton to Yellowstone Volcano.
This position leads a team of 4–6 staff geologists, as well as conducting independent field and laboratory geologic research in support of agency goals. This position provides project management and technical oversight for more than one-third of the geologic studies produced by the WSGS. This person is responsible for grant writing, budget preparation, and contracting work; they also guide the direction of the division and report directly to the state geologist. This staff member coordinates with state and federal agencies to execute the mission of the WSGS. A broad range of areas of expertise in geosciences will be considered for this position.
