fields that include but are not limited to economics, political science,
public policy, planning, sociology, anthropology, law, and science and
technology studies. The successful applicant will have high potential or
proven excellence in teaching and research on the environment. They should
be committed to educating students in programs hosted by the Environmental
Studies department, including the Environmental Studies undergraduate and
PhD programs, and the Animal Studies masters (MA) and undergraduate minor
programs. They will work within a department that emphasizes and encourages
transdisciplinary scholarship and systems thinking, and with a faculty
whose work spans the natural and social sciences and the humanities.
