*Assistant/Associate Professor in the Natural Sciences. *Eugene Lang
College for Liberal Arts, an undergraduate college of The New School,
invites applications for a full-time renewable term appointment in the
Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. We seek innovative
educators at the senior or junior level who can contribute to a distinctive
Interdisciplinary Science Program that teaches basic scientific principles,
concepts, and methods within the context of solving planetary health
challenges. The program prepares students for advanced interdisciplinary
study and careers in public health/epidemiology, environmental
policy/natural conservation, transdisciplinary design, data visualization,
and STEM communication. Candidates will be expected to maintain a research
or creative practice appropriate to a liberal arts context (which can
include the scholarship of teaching and learning and/or science
communication) and are encouraged to develop collaborations within and
outside the University. We are particularly interested in those who make
connections to design, social sciences, and/or the arts, and those who have
experience with informal science learning (DIY, science cafe, museums,
film, STEAMD) or using cities as learning labs. Preference will be given to
those candidates who have familiarity with SENCERhttp://sencer.net/  (Science
Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities) or similar
programs that place STEM, social justice, and civic engagement at the
center of learning. The New School campus has two teaching laboratories
(BSL2) and an extensive Making Center, which can be used to support
research. The start date is July 2018. For full ad and application protocol
