<p style="line-height: 18.12px;">The School of Arts
and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania
invites applications for a tenure-track assistant
professor appointment in environmental humanities,
broadly interpreted to embrace disciplinary and
interdisciplinary approaches from the humanities,
social sciences, and natural sciences. We are
interested in exceptional scholars who take
innovative, pioneering approaches to such areas of
inquiry as history and the environment; the arts,
culture and the environment; environmental ethics
and philosophy; environmental theory; environmental
justice in a global perspective; the Anthropocene;
the nonhuman in the humanities; and varieties of
environmental knowledge. The successful candidate’s
primary appointment will be in one of the following
departments: Anthropology, Earth and Environmental
Science, English, German, History, History and
Sociology of Science, or Philosophy. Secondary
appointments in other departments can be arranged,
as appropriate. This will be the first in a cluster
of appointments in various aspects of the
environmental humanities. The successful candidate
should therefore have a strong interest in building
such a program and in interacting with scholars from
other disciplines whose research lies within the
overarching theme of environmental humanities. The
successful candidate will teach courses in her or
his home department and will participate in the
development of curriculum pertinent to the theme of
the cluster.</p>
<p style="line-height: 18.12px;">Applications should
be submitted on-line at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://facultysearches.provost.upenn.edu/postings/990">http://facultysearches.provost.upenn.edu/postings/990</a>
and include a curriculum vitae, a research statement
that includes the candidate’s perspective on how she
or he fits into one of the core departments, an
uploaded publication (either a link to a journal
publication or some other writing sample), and the
contact information for three individuals who will
be contacted by the University with instructions on
how to submit a letter of recommendation. Review of
applications will begin November 3, 2016, and will
continue until the position is filled. The School of
Arts and Sciences is strongly committed to Penn’s
Action Plan for Faculty Diversity and Excellence and
to creating a more diverse faculty (for more
