<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">Assistant Professor of Environmental Justice</span><span style="color:#4A4A4A"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A">The College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia has launched a multiyear faculty hiring initiative devoted to Race, Justice and Equity, building on a broad range of recent
commitments, including an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation funded project to hire 10 Tenure/Tenure Track faculty working on the Global South; an expansion and University endowment commitment to the Carter Woodson Institute and Department of African and African-American
Studies; the establishment of the Dean’s Doctoral Fellowships to enhance our recruitment of underrepresented graduate students; and a parallel project in collaboration with the Mellon Foundation to appoint 30 Race, Justice, and Equity Postdoctoral and Arts
fellows across the University (20 in Arts & Sciences). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A">These commitments further our mission as a public university, dedicated to the promise of democratic life, and consistently engaged with the unfinished struggles for democracy, freedom, and justice with
which our national and institutional histories are so deeply entangled. The present historical moment—and the deep histories that have produced it—call us to engage with renewed urgency the particular histories of inequality affecting Black communities in
the United States and across the globe. Our hiring, research, teaching, and institutional practices and commitments must respond to that call.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A">As part of this initiative, UVA Arts & Sciences has launched a cluster of 10 tenured/tenure track searches for faculty members working in Black studies in national and global contexts, with intersecting
fields of interest across disciplinary <span class="wkl21">domains. Appointments</span> will span multiple fields: Music and Sound Studies, Black Political Thought and Philosophy; Sociology of Race; Black Feminist Theory; Studio and Digital Art; Race, Media
and Technology; Black Diaspora and Latinx studies; Environmental Justice; Race and Health, Black Youth studies. Four of these searches were completed last year with the next six occurring this Fall.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A">These new faculty members will join a community of colleagues at UVA already working in and across disciplines on the social, cultural, political, historical, and environmental questions that are central
to African, African-American, and Diaspora communities across the US and around the world. The University of Virginia’s location and history necessitates that we sustain and expand research and teaching in these areas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A">The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia seeks a tenure-track assistant professor to begin August 2022. We invite applications from rising scholars in
<span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">any field in the environmental sciences</span> or a related field in the natural sciences or engineering. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a nationally recognized research program focused
on environmental justice and/or climate equity as related to any aspect of the Earth system
<span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">and to develop courses along those lines</span>. The scholar should work on issues at the intersection of race, equity, justice, and the environment, defined broadly, including climate change, environmental
pollution, biodiversity, severe weather and natural hazards, natural resource extraction and distribution, and/or the built environment and infrastructure. We welcome applications from scholars working at local to global scales with a focus on issues facing
Black and intersectional <span class="wkl21">Black communities,</span> including, but not limited to, those conducting community-engaged scholarship and incorporating local and traditional knowledge.<span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in"> We
are particularly interested in scholars with a track record of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within their research, teaching, and service, who bring their lived experiences to their scholarly activities, and</span> who are open to collaborating
across disciplines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A">The position will be 100% within the Department of Environmental Sciences. Faculty and students in the Department of Environmental Sciences focus on the physical, chemical, and ecological processes that
shape our land, waters, and atmosphere and determine their interactions at scales from the microcosm to the earth system around the globe.
<span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">We work to discover, integrate, and communicate new knowledge and generate wisdom about environmental systems, to educate and mentor students, citizens, and fellow scientists, and to provide actionable
information for management, policymaking, and environmental justice. We are committed to improving diversity and inclusivity within our department and our disciplines.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#4A4A4A">The University of Virginia expects all current and new employees (UVA Health System and Academic), to be vaccinated against COVID-19. <br>
<br>
<b><span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">If hired to work within the University Health System, you will be required to provide proof of vaccination or be willing to receive the vaccination.</span></b> Employees may request a medical or religious
exemption from vaccination.<br>
<br>
If hired to work on the Academic side of the University, excluding the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, UPG, and the Health Systems Library, you will be required to provide proof of vaccination or be willing to submit to mandatory, weekly prevalence testing.
Employees that are working 100% remotely will not be subject to weekly prevalence testing; however, if the employee works on UVA Grounds (including the Medical Center) even intermittently, then they are required to be tested for COVID-19 once per week on an
indefinite basis and follow masking mandates. <br>
<br>
NOTE: Some medical and safety-sensitive positions require vaccination and are not eligible for an exemption. For more information on how the vaccination and testing requirements will apply to you at your work location, see the
