Hi all,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The University of Washington=E2=80=99s School of Environmental and Forest S=<br>
ciences<br>
(SEFS) invites applications for a full-time (9-month; 100% FTE)<br>
tenure-track Assistant Professor (0116) position to begin Autumn 2016. This<br>
position is part of a University of Washington/College of the Environment<br>
initiative to strengthen its teaching and research capability in the areas<br>
of forest ecosystems, renewable energy, and sustainable technologies.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Ideal candidates will integrate forest ecosystem science with perspectives<br>
from one or more other disciplines (e.g., forest management, silviculture,<br>
hydrology, atmospheric sciences, economics) and appreciate the intersection<br>
of basic and applied sciences that characterizes SEFS. A Ph.D. or foreign<br>
equivalent in forestry, ecology, forest management, silviculture, ecosystem<br>
sciences, or a closely related field is required.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The College of the Environment and SEFS (<a href="http://www.sefs.washington.edu/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.sefs.washington.edu/</a>)<br>
are dedicated to creating a climate of engagement, actively enlarging the<br>
boundaries of diversity, and highlighting the crucial roles that<br>
under-represented groups play in experiencing, documenting, understanding,<br>
and solving environmental challenges. All applicants must therefore have a<br>
demonstrated willingness to work collaboratively with faculty from a wide<br>
range of disciplines, cultures, and academic backgrounds; and to advise and<br>
teach a graduate and undergraduate student body that is diverse with<br>
respect to socio-economic status, culture and career path.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
All University of Washington (UW) faculty engage in teaching, research, and<br>
service. This position requires developing a strong, externally funded<br>
research program. Candidates must demonstrate outstanding potential for<br>
high impact research as judged, in part, by their publication record. There<br>
will be numerous opportunities for interaction and collaboration within<br>
SEFS, in other units of the College of the Environment, across UW, and with<br>
land management agencies. In particular, SEFS partners with the US Forest<br>
Service Pacific Northwest Research Station in the conduct of ecosystem<br>
science research at the Wind River Experimental Forest (WREF;<br>
<a href="http://www.sefs.washington.edu/centersPrograms/windriver.shtml" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.sefs.washington.edu/centersPrograms/windriver.shtml</a>). Key assets<br>
at Wind River include a flux tower, a network of permanent forest plots,<br>
and its designation as a core site in the National Ecological Observatory<br>
Network (NEON; <a href="http://www.neoninc.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.neoninc.org/</a>). The successful candidate will be<br>
expected to organize a portion of their research portfolio around the<br>
facilities at WREF, and to strengthen the ties between WREF, UW, and the<br>
Forest Service. The successful candidate will contribute to existing and<br>
new courses, including field-=C2=ADbased instruction, and expand our educat=<br>
ional<br>
programs. In summary, this person will fill a critical position in our<br>
faculty, provide scientific leadership at the WREF, and strengthen our<br>
research and teaching capabilities in forest ecosystems and ecosystem<br>
services.<br>
<br>
