Position Summary
The Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of New Mexico (UNM) invites applications for a probationary appointment leading to a tenure decision at the rank of Assistant Professor.  The successful candidate will contribute to research, teaching and academic life in the department and will have expertise in Climate Change Studies.

We are searching for someone who works at the intersection of climate change science and human responses to climate change impacts. In particular, research should address ramifications of climate impacts on human populations, which may include adaptation, migration, and marginalization. Salary is competitive and based on experience. Applicants who are appointed to a UNM continuing faculty position are required to provide an official certification of successful completion of all Ph.D. degree requirements prior to their initial appointment with UNM.
The successful candidate will be joining a vibrant department whose faculty teach and research across the breadth of geography and environmental studies. We provide innovative curricular programs that are relevant to current, real-world problems, and that are strongly coupled with our individual research expertise. We enjoy a variety of collaborative partnerships with other units and scholars across campus. Our new PhD program, launched in 2019, is a joint effort with the Department of Geography at New Mexico State University. As New Mexico's flagship university, UNM is committed to diversity and excellence in research and teaching. The university has a Carnegie Very High Research Activity (R1) designation, and has several research programs of interest to climate change scholars, including focus areas in ecology and climatology; regional resource economics, water, and environment; environmental economics; and art and ecology.
UNM is committed to hiring and retaining a diverse workforce. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer that does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability, or any other protected status. The university is one of nine R1 universities designated as Hispanic-Serving Institutes, and one of just two that are designated Minority Serving Institutes. UNM has the highest enrollment of Native American students of any U.S. university.
