The Program in Environmental Studies at Williams College invites 
applications for a post-doctoral fellowship in Environmental Studies,

fields: history, anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, 
cultural geography, public policy, economics, philosophy or a related 
field. Candidates with expertise in agricultural sustainability and food 
studies are preferred.

The position requires vision and initiative and a desire to join our 
vibrant community of environmental scholars, practitioners and 
activists.  Williams is an institution that places a high value on 
undergraduate teaching; consequently, we strongly prefer applicants who 
can demonstrate a capacity for excellent teaching and who have a 
commitment to working effectively with a student population that is

sexual orientation, and religion.

The successful candidate will be appointed for a term of two years and
