California State University East Bay has a mission to support a diverse
student body through academically rich and culturally relevant learning
experiences.  The successful candidate will bring with them expertise or an
openness to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all
students.

THE DEPARTMENT:  Anthropology, Geography, and Environmental Studies (AGES)
is a highly dynamic, collegial, and interdisciplinary department that hosts
the three indicated undergraduate degree programs along with the Global
Studies program.  This position will contribute principally to the Geography
and Environmental Studies programs. The Geography program provides a
valuable multi-perspective education of vital importance in this age of
globalization and cumulative environmental change and offers a B.S. with
concentrations in Resources and Sustainability, Regions and Cultures, and
Spatial Techniques. The program is focused on historical and contemporary
human activities in the natural and built environment, and on people as the
major physical, social, cultural, and economic change agents across the
Earth's surface. Environmental Studies is a broadly interdisciplinary
program offering a B.A., a Minor, and a Sustainability Certificate, all
focusing on issues at the nexus of environmental sustainability, resource
management, and social justice.  The two programs collaborate closely, with
multiple cross-listed courses and a common focus in fostering practical,
cross-disciplinary skills in their majors (e.g. environmental resource
analysis, environmental impact assessment, GIS) while integrating issues of
science, sustainability, and social justice into each curriculum. AGES
faculty acknowledge the centrality of racial justice in environmental
justice, climate justice, and other core sustainability challenges. We seek
a colleague with a similar understanding. AGES faculty are major
contributors to the University in shared governance and as leaders in
developing its substantial sustainability infrastructure and collaborate
closely with the University's Office of Sustainability in supporting the
campus as a living laboratory for sustainability work. Anthropology and
Global Studies majors can take various Geography and Environmental Studies
courses as electives and many other majors take various courses offered by
the two programs to meet their general education requirements and
institutional learning outcomes, especially in the areas of sustainability,
diversity, critical thinking, and collaboration.

DUTIES OF THE POSITION:  We seek an interdisciplinary (physical/social
science) specialist in sustainable urban environments whose work focuses on
the intersection of sustainability, social justice, and climate
change/resilience. The new faculty member will support the program's
environmental justice and diversity emphasis teaching a variety of courses
such as Environment, Sustainability, and Social Justice (ENVT 330),
Sustainable Communities and Development (ENVT/GEOG 465), Environmental
Resource Analysis (ENVT 320), Diversity and Globalization (GEOG 120). A
Ph.D. in environment, geography, sustainability, or related field is
required. Experience in online teaching or interest in developing online
coursework is desirable. Preferred are candidates interested in the roles of
women, LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC communities in the transition to sustainability,
who are eager to teach a highly diverse, predominantly Latinx, student
population. Please note that teaching assignments at California State
University, East Bay include courses at the Hayward, Concord, and Online
campuses. In addition to teaching, all faculty have advising
responsibilities, assist the department with administrative and/or committee
work, and are expected to assume campus-wide committee responsibilities.

RANK AND SALARY: Assistant Professor. Salary is dependent upon educational
preparation and experience.  Subject to budgetary authorization.

DATE OF APPOINTMENT: Fall Semester, 2022
