<div dir="ltr"><div>The Department of Earth System Science (ESS) at The University of California Irvine seeks to hire an Assistant Professor with expertise in the coupling of human and natural systems, with the goal of strengthening the department’s commitment to understanding and teaching how Earth system change interacts with human systems. The department is particularly interested in interdisciplinary researchers who integrate methods of the natural and social sciences to assess the connections between the global environment and human activities. Research areas might include, for example, pathways of sustainable development, the future of global fisheries, integrated assessment modeling, quantification of regional- to global-scale ecosystem services, econometric analyses of climate change impacts, and the drivers and consequences of land use change.</div><div><br></div><div>The ESS vision at UC Irvine began in in 1992 with a focus on global environmental changes that occur on human time scales. Currently the department has twenty-five full time faculty with research and teaching in climate dynamics, biogeochemistry of oceans and atmospheres, atmospheric chemistry, cryosphere, ecohydrology, food security, and global energy systems (see <a href="http://www.ess.uci.edu/">http://www.ess.uci.edu/</a>).
