Primary Function of Organizational Unit

The Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program, North Carolina (NC) State
University is bringing some of the best and brightest minds to join NC State
University's interdisciplinary efforts to solve some of the globe's most
significant problems. Guided by a strong strategic plan and an aggressive
vision, the cluster hiring program is adding new faculty members in select
fields to add more breadth and depth to NC State's already-strong efforts.
The Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program marks a major initiative of the
university's strategic plan, "The Pathway to the Future." We invite you to
explore the Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program and this cluster at
https://facultyclusters.ncsu.edu/

NC State University provides a dynamic environment for research, teaching,
mentoring, and collaboration across disciplines. Our location in the
Research Triangle provides rich opportunities for interactions with
industry, research organizations, other universities, and government
agencies.

The Cluster in Global Environmental Change and Human Well-being focuses on
understanding, confronting, and overcoming the challenges that global
environmental change will pose for environmental health and human
well-being. Our initiative provides leadership to bridge research programs
across NC State's colleges and will greatly increase our visibility in the
field of global environmental change. In addition to building on biological,
social, and physical sciences, our cluster capitalizes on momentum generated
by two initiatives at NC State: (1) the USGS Southeast Climate Adaptation
Science Center (https://secasc.ncsu.edu/), which invests in research and
graduate training, and (1) the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences
(https://naturalsciences.org/research-collections), which offers
opportunities for collaboration and public outreach on global change.


Essential Job Duties

As part of the Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program, NC State University
seeks applications and nominations for an Assistant Professor in Global
Change Biology. While our goal is to hire at the Assistant level,
applications and nominations for Associate and Full Professors will also be
considered in exceptional cases.

Many of the greatest challenges to humanity in this century relate to the
effects of global environmental changes, including climate change, land-use
change, disease, and biodiversity loss. Addressing these challenges requires
interdisciplinary research and education on the effects of a changing
climate on ecosystem processes and services and feedbacks between ecological
and human health at relevant spatial scales. We are especially interested in
candidates with strong quantitative skills as well as candidates with
demonstrated experience in research across ecology, economics, and policy
for the quantification of ecosystem services under a changing climate.

This position is part of a cluster hire in Global Environmental Change and
Human Well-being
(https://facultyclusters.ncsu.edu/clusters/global-environmental-change-and-h
uman-well-being/). Opportunities for collaboration exist across departments
and colleges as well as with the USGS Southeast Climate Adaptation Science
Center, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, the Office of Public
Science, the Cluster of Public Science, the Cluster in Geospatial Analytics,
and the Cluster in Emerging Plant Disease and Global Food Security. The
successful candidate will be expected to develop a vigorous, extramurally
funded research program that enhances existing strengths and builds
additional capacity in ecology and climate change biology. Teaching
responsibilities will include undergraduate and/or graduate courses in
disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas related to climate change.
