Job Summary/Basic Function

The Environmental Studies Department at Dickinson College invites applications for a tenure track position, Assistant Professor of Environmental Science. We seek an interdisciplinary scholar whose background includes one or more of the natural sciences (environmental science, biology, ecology, chemistry, physics, or related fields) or environmental engineering. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, global environmental change and its impacts, urban ecology, science of the built environment, climate science, landscape ecology, macrosystems ecology, or ecosystem science. GIS and other geospatial skills are advantageous.

The successful candidate will teach an introductory level environmental science course, upper level courses in their area of interest, and First Year and Senior Seminars, all in rotation with existing faculty. The candidate will be expected to initiate an active scholarly agenda and provide research opportunities for Dickinson students. The ability to create inclusive learning environments for an increasingly diverse student body and build on our strong community-based teaching and research programs will be an important characteristic of the successful candidate.

It is located 20 minutes west of Harrisburg and is a two-hour drive from Baltimore, Washington DC, and Philadelphia. The Environmental Studies Department is one of the oldest and most broadly established in the nation, offering a wealth of research and co-curricular opportunities.
