The Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management (NREM) at
Oklahoma State University invites applications for a full-time,
eleven-month, tenure-track position (40% research and 60% teaching) at the

sustainability. The research appointment is in the Oklahoma Agricultural
Experiment Station (OAES) and the teaching appointment is in the College of
Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (CASNR). This position reports

Oklahoma State University is a leading land-grant university in a region
represented by an environmental gradient that ranges from pine and oak
forests with >1400 mm of rainfall to shortgrass prairie and pinyon-juniper
rangelands with <600 mm of rainfall. The NREM department is composed of a
diverse group of faculty with expertise in aquatics, fisheries, forestry,
rangeland, and wildlife resources, employs 21 faculty and 12 support staff,
and houses the Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. NREM
faculty are active in several established climate change and water- related
research centers based at OSU including the Oklahoma Water Resources
Center, a current Oklahoma-based NSF EPSCoR project, and the USGS South
Central Climate Science Center.

1. Establish an internationally recognized, externally funded research
program in the area of wildland hydrology and resource sustainability that
emphasizes climate, land use, and land cover change impacts over a wide

Research associated with this position is expected to include scaling from
experimental watersheds to landscape and regional scales, potentially using
expertise in hydrological modeling and/or remote sensing. Research
supporting graduate education is a priority.
2. Teach undergraduate courses that may include hydrology and watershed
management, sustainable natural resource management, and natural resource
policy. Teach graduate courses in area of expertise and that support
graduate programs and broader departmental priorities.
3. Recruit, mentor, and train graduate students.

5. Serve on Departmental, Division, and University committees
appropriate to interests, responsibilities, and organizational mission.

Qualifications:

or a related natural resource field from an accredited university is
required.
2. Evidence of the ability to conduct independent and collaborative
research with other faculty and natural resource professionals, develop and
maintain an active research program, publish in leading scientific
journals, and secure extramural funding to support research.
