*POSITION & QUALIFICATIONS:***
The Goodnight Family Sustainable Development Department at Appalachian 
State University invites applications for a tenure track position at the 
rank of Assistant Professor, beginning August 2019. We seek a dynamic 
teacher, scholar, and activist/practitioner whose work illuminates how 
ecological and social dynamics shape agrarian change and rural 
development. Applicants with expertise in *agroecology*, environmental 
justice, and/or climate change are especially encouraged to apply. 
Priority will be given to applicants who *integrate ecological and 
social sciences*, and to those whose work broadens our geographical 
strengths.

We are a critical development studies department that is committed to 
preparing students for transformative, community-driven development and 
social change. Diversity is a key (though still under-realized) 
component of our department’s mission. Thus we seek candidates that 
strengthen our department's commitment to improving intercultural 
competencies and working across difference for positive social and 
ecological change. In addition, faculty members are expected to maintain 
an active program of scholarship and participate in service activities.


*The best candidates will meet the following criteria, among others:*

1. A completed PhD (or other terminal degree) in a related field, or 
detailed plans for degree completion prior to appointment;

2. A commitment to high-quality teaching; the ability to teach 
introductory courses in sustainable development as well as upper-level 
seminars related to their area of expertise; the ability to incorporate 
natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities in their teaching;

3. Demonstrated potential to contribute to sustainable development 
scholarship via an original research program;

4. Experience working with diverse populations and/or experiences that 
will support the department’s goal of preparing students to contribute 
to a just, diverse, and global society; and

5. A praxis orientation: the ability to guide students to become 
thoughtful practitioners and grounded scholars of sustainable 
development, as demonstrated by critical analysis of the practice of 
sustainable development and agrarian issues, or self-reflexive 
experience in these fields.
