We are particularly interested in individuals advancing methods in SDS. Applicants must have experience in (or potential for) obtaining research funding from competitive grant programs such as NSF or NASA. Additional qualifications include experience in (or potential for): teaching GIScience courses at the post-secondary level, collaborating with others in the department (socialsciences.uoregon.edu/geography<http://socialsciences.uoregon.edu/geography>), and mentoring graduate students. Rank will be commensurate with experience. The university encourages all qualified individuals to apply and does not discriminate on the basis of any protected status, including veteran and disability status. To ensure consideration, applications must be received by November 10, 2024. Please direct questions to Dr. Mark Fonstad at fonstad at uoregon.edu<mailto:fonstad at uoregon.edu>.
