[Anabela Afonso]

*Assistant Professor of Climate Science*



Brandeis University seeks to hire a teaching faculty member in Climate
Science to join the Environmental Studies Program in Fall 2020.
Requirements for the position include a Ph.D. in climate science or allied
fields in the natural sciences, completed by the time of appointment, and a
strong commitment to teaching and mentoring students at the undergraduate
level. All candidates with expertise in any branch of climate science will
be considered with preference for (but not limited to): atmospheric
science, hydrology, geology, or oceanography. We seek a candidate whose
scientific expertise qualifies them to teach courses complementing science
courses in ecology, evolution, chemistry, sustainability, and citizen
science currently taught at Brandeis.



The Brandeis Environmental Studies Program offers an undergraduate major
and minor. We take an interdisciplinary approach to examining environmental
issues through coursework in the natural and social sciences, including
economics, policy, history, ecology and the physical sciences. Our
innovative learning programs take students into the field and the community
with a focus on experiential learning.



This is a full-time appointment outside the tenure structure. It carries a
5-course teaching load per year (spread over 2 semesters) with an initial
appointment of up to three years as an Assistant Professor. Teaching
responsibilities will include the following courses: a multidisciplinary
introduction to climate change and its consequences, an overview of climate
science, deep-earth history, and two additional upper-level electives. The
candidate will take an active role in advising undergraduate majors and
minors in Environmental Studies, advise senior theses and independent
projects as appropriate, and take an active role in Environmental Studies
curriculum and program development. Candidates with evidence of successful
teaching of diverse populations of undergraduates are especially encouraged
to apply.



Applications, which should be submitted through AcademicJobsOnline at
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/15131, should include the
following: cover letter, CV, statements of teaching philosophy and
scholarly interests, syllabi of two courses (previously taught or in the
planning) suitable for undergraduate students, a sample of scholarly
writing and the names of three references, at least one of whom has
knowledge of the candidate’s teaching abilities. First consideration will
be given to applications received by December 1, 2019 and review will
continue until the position is filled.



At Brandeis, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential
components of academic excellence. Brandeis University is an affirmative
action, equal opportunity employer that is committed to creating equitable
access and opportunities for applicants to all employment positions.
Because diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of Brandeis’
history and mission, we value and are seeking candidates that represent a
variety of social identities, including those that have been
underrepresented in higher education, who possess skills that spark
innovation, and who, through their scholarly pursuits, teaching, and/or
service experiences, bring expertise in building, engaging and sustaining a
pluralistic, just, and inclusive campus community.
