Description
Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service (SFS) and
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) invite applications for a
non-tenure line faculty position to help to support teaching in an exciting
new graduate program, The Master of Science in Environment and
International Affairs (MS-EIA), jointly administered by Georgetown
University’s Earth Commons Institute and the School of Foreign Service.
The faculty member will be jointly based (50-50) in the Science, Technology
and International Affairs Program (STIA) at the School of Foreign Service
and the Earth Commons Institute in the Graduate School for Arts and
Sciences (GSAS). This new hire is part of a broader cluster of faculty
recruitments complementing existing expertise in the areas of environment
and sustainability at Georgetown University.

We are looking to hire a teaching professor (open rank, non tenure line)
with training and teaching experience in the field of global environmental
affairs to lead the MS-EIA capstone experience and related courses.
Relevant disciplinary backgrounds would include political science,
international relations, public policy, environmental science and policy,
environmental security, natural resource management, or other
interdisciplinary training with a focus on both science and politics and/or
policy. We are looking for someone who is both a teacher and a
practitioner, with work experience and connections across the field of
global environmental affairs, including with US government agencies,
international organizations, and non-governmental organizations. Expertise
should include a focus on transboundary and/or global environmental policy
or science, and may include fields such as climate change, ozone depletion,
ocean science, biodiversity and conservation, or arctic/polar science.
Teaching responsibilities include the development and oversight of an 8
month, 4 credit capstone experience (a 1 credit seminar during the spring
semester and a 3 credit project during the summer) where students will work
on projects with clients in the field of the environment and international
affairs. In addition, the faculty member will offer several elective
courses each year (combination of graduate and undergraduate). The teaching
load for non-tenure line teaching positions is generally 3-3, but this
position includes a reduced load in fall or spring to compensate for
teaching responsibilities during the summer associated with the capstone
experience course. As a result this position is a 12 month contract.

Applicants should provide a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching
statement, names and contact information for three references, recent
teaching evaluations (if available), and copies of 1-2 recent syllabi (if
available). Georgetown is strongly committed to fostering a climate that
encourages diversity, equity and inclusion. Applicants should also submit a
brief statement (not to exceed two pages) that discusses how they would
ensure a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion issues in the areas of
research, teaching, and service in SFS and GSAS and reflects on their
teaching and mentorship of students from diverse backgrounds. For full
consideration please submit your application prior to January 26, 2024.

All candidates must hold a Ph.D. by the time of employment. The start date
for this position is August 1, 2024. Applications for this position must be
made via Georgetown’s online application management system on Interfolio
http://apply.interfolio.com/135660. Faxed, mailed or emailed applications
will not be accepted. Questions about the position should be directed to
SFS Faculty Chair, Katharine Donato at kmd285 at georgetown.edu.
