*ASSISTANT PROFESSOR*
*ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE*
*ENERGY AND RESOURCES GROUP*

The Energy and Resources Group (ERG) at the University of California,
Berkeley invites applications for an Assistant Professor
position in quantitative environmental science, with an expected start date
of July 1, 2016.

ERG has a long and distinguished history
of interdisciplinary research and teaching for a sustainable environment
and an equitable society. Further information about ERG
can be found at http://erg.berkeley.edu.

Basic qualifications: The basic qualification for this position is
completion of all Ph.D. or equivalent degree requirements, except
the dissertation, by time of application. Additional qualifications:
Candidates must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree by the appointment
start date.

Preferred qualifications: We are especially interested in candidates with
quantitative expertise and interests in one or more of:
global change science; toxics and pollutants; the environment-society
interface; and ecology and biodiversity. The ideal candidate
will have experience with some combination of: techniques for analysis of
large data sets, mathematical modeling, methods in
complex systems theory, and experimental and observational field methods.
ERG especially encourages applicants with a strong
interest in multiple scales of analysis from local to global. ERG is an
interdisciplinary graduate program, so an ability to actively
engage with colleagues from other disciplines such as social science and
engineering is desirable, as is a compelling interest and
engagement in public policy.

Training in multiple areas of the natural sciences (e.g., both physical and
biological) is desirable.

Ideal candidates will have demonstrated potential for outstanding research
and ongoing productivity. She or he will also have
strong teaching and mentoring skills, or for those without an extensive
background in teaching, a commitment to make this a
core component of their professional portfolio. Teaching duties will
include responsibility for a core ERG environmental science
course, as well as development of more specialized seminars or courses, and
participation in interdisciplinary seminars with other
faculty.

ERG welcomes candidates who will bring to their research and teaching a
perspective that comes from a non-traditional educational
background or understanding of the experiences of those underrepresented in
higher education. UC Berkeley is committed
to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples
and single parents.
