[ES_JOBS_NET] Associate/Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Specializing in Climate Justice

[Erika Marin-Spiotta]

*Associate/Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Specializing in
Climate Justice*

The Brandeis University Environmental Studies Program invites applications
for a tenured/tenure track Associate/Assistant Professorship with an
emphasis on Climate Justice, beginning Fall term 2022. This position is
subject to budgetary approval. We seek a scholar whose research addresses
disproportionate impacts of climate change and related adaptation and
mitigation efforts on vulnerable social groups in any part of the world,
especially communities of color and indigenous communities. We welcome a
variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, but are
particularly interested in candidates whose work integrates environmental
and climate justice scholarship in innovative ways.

Candidates must have a PhD in a relevant Social Science discipline, a
proven publication record, and a substantial teaching experience. We
welcome applications from candidates whose credentials would merit
appointment at either the tenured Associate Professor or untenured
Assistant Professor level. Tenure will reside in Environmental Studies; a
partial line appointment in another Social Science unit is possible. In
addition to a course focused on climate justice, teaching duties could
include offerings in the following areas: environmental justice; social
difference (race, gender, ethnicity and/or indigeneity) and the
environment; environment and development; political ecology; and/or a
team-taught course related to climate change, as appropriate. In addition
to the major in Environmental Studies, the candidate’s teaching will
support a newly created Climate Justice, Science, and Policy minor.
Undergraduate thesis advising and service at all levels of the university
will also be expected.

At Brandeis, we believe that diversity, equity and inclusion are essential
components of academic excellence. Brandeis University is an affirmative
action, equal opportunity employer and 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.

Applicants should submit 1) a cover letter; 2) a curriculum vitae; 3) an
article-length writing sample; 4) a diversity statement; 5) a teaching
statement/portfolio; and 6) names and contact information for three
referees. The teaching statement/portfolio must include evidence of
teaching excellence and may include syllabi. The diversity statement may be
incorporated into your cover letter or take the form of a separate 2-3 page
document. It should specify your contributions to diversity, equity,
inclusion, and belonging, including information about your understanding of
these issues, your record of professional activities, mentoring, and
contributions to the discipline that are indicators of your commitment to
advancing equity and inclusion if hired as a Brandeis faculty member (for
