[ES_JOBS_NET] Tenure-Track Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in Climate Change - DEEPS

[Horta, Bonnie]

Tenure-Track Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in Climate Change

 Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences

Institute at Brown for Environment and Society

Brown University



The Institute at Brown for Environment and Society -- jointly with the
Departments of Anthropology; Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences;
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; Epidemiology; and Sociology -- invites
applications from rising leaders in the natural, social, public health, and
environmental justice aspects of climate change.

This open rank search will seek to fill endowed university chairs with a
tenure or tenure-track home in any of the participating departments. The
ideal candidate is likely to be a senior assistant or associate professor
(or equivalent rank), but candidates of any rank will be considered.  We
are particularly interested in scholars who demonstrate a track record in
problem oriented collaborative research, an interest in working to promote
diversity and inclusion in environmental disciplines, and a dedication to
teaching and research mentoring. The successful applicant will have an
outstanding record of research and teaching that complements the strengths
of both the intended home department and the institute, while demonstrating
the potential to work across both units. The mission of the Institute at
Brown for Environment and Society (IBES) is to advance knowledge and
educate leaders of the future across the socio-environmental sciences to
achieve a prosperous, equitable, and sustainable world. Our deeply rigorous
disciplinary scholars collaborate to integrate and balance multi-faceted,
competing interests and to understand the foundations for sustainability in
human societies and the natural world.

The Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences (DEEPS) seeks
to build on current strengths in climate change and related sciences.
Examples of research areas of interest include: modeling and observation of
past, present and future climate; coastal environments and geomorphology;
sea level change - including oceanography, glaciology, geophysics, and
paleo-records; carbon cycling and biogeochemistry; water cycling,
sustainability, and hydrogeochemistry; planetary climates; and remote
sensing. Candidates whose work involves natural sciences of climate change
in conjunction with societal aspects--such as hazards, resources,
sustainability, and equity--are of particular interest.

Candidates of any rank will be considered. The endowed chairs are named
faculty positions that include a small fund in perpetuity (in addition to
start up funds) to assist chair holders in achieving their research and
teaching goals.  We are particularly interested in scholars who demonstrate
research excellence, an interest in working to promote diversity and
inclusion in environmental disciplines, and a dedication to teaching and
research mentoring. The successful applicant will have an outstanding
record of research and teaching that complements the strengths of both
DEEPS and IBES, while demonstrating the potential to work across both units.

Applicants must have a PhD at the time of starting work. Candidates should
submit: (1) a teaching statement; (2) a research statement; (3) a diversity
and inclusion statement; (4) a curriculum vitae; (5) two writing samples
(which may be a journal article, book prospectus, book chapter, or other
appropriate product); and (6) a cover letter describing their interest in
the position. Candidates currently holding tenured faculty positions should
provide the names of three referees; these referees will not be contacted
without prior authorization from the candidate. Candidates that do not
currently hold a tenured faculty position should have three letters of
reference submitted before the application deadline. Interested candidates
should feel free to contact Prof. Greg Hirth (Greg_Hirth at brown.edu) for
further information.

Full consideration will be given to applications received by October 1st,
2018, but we will continue to accept applications until the position is
filled. Brown is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, and
women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. Send materials to:
