What is stratigraphy?

A stratigraphy job involves studying rock layers (strata) to understand Earth's geological history, including sediment deposition, fossil records, and changes over time. Stratigraphers work in fields like petroleum exploration, environmental studies, and archaeology to analyze subsurface formations. They use mapping, core sampling, and dating techniques to interpret geological events and guide resource exploration or land-use planning.

What are the typical work settings and collaborative aspects of a stratigrapher's role?

Stratigraphers typically split their time between fieldwork, analyzing rock layers and sediment samples onsite, and office or laboratory settings where they interpret data and create stratigraphic models. Collaboration is frequent, as they often work as part of multidisciplinary teams with geologists, paleontologists, engineers, and environmental scientists, especially on projects involving natural resource exploration or environmental assessments. You may also contribute to technical reports, presentations, and research publications. This blend of field exploration, lab analysis, and team-based problem-solving provides an engaging and dynamic work environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the stratigraphy position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Stratigraphy, you need a strong background in geology, sedimentology, and earth sciences, often supported by a relevant bachelor's or master's degree. Technical expertise with geologic mapping tools, sediment core analysis equipment, and software such as GIS and stratigraphic modeling programs is commonly required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, teamwork, and effective communication are vital soft skills in this field. These qualifications ensure accurate subsurface interpretations and effective collaboration on multidisciplinary research or exploration projects.

The Galbraith Marine Science Laboratory provides excellent teaching and research facilities, including an assortment of vessels ideal for direct, year-round access to a variety of coastal and shallow marine environments. Teaching responsibilities will include our introductory-level course in Geological Oceanography and an upper-level course in Marine Stratigraphy and Sediment. The successful applicant will also participate in other required Marine Science classes, with an opportunity to develop a course in their area of expertise, which could include Coastal Geology, Marine Geology, or others. Additionally, participation in an interdisciplinary, values-oriented general education program is required, including periodic rotation in two Common Core courses and a first-year seminar program.
Eckerd College, the only independent national liberal arts college in Florida, has a tradition of innovative education and teaching/mentoring excellence. The successful applicant will demonstrate a well-developed research plan that is accessible to undergraduate students and will be expected to secure external funding to establish an active research program that complements existing departmental strengths. Employment will require a successful background check.
