Roger Williams University</a> in Bristol, RI invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Global Environmental Change to begin
<strong><i><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">August 2024</span></i></strong>. We seek an educator and interdisciplinary scholar who utilizes remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and/or geospatial analysis and modeling to investigate
the drivers, consequences, and management of global change across spatiotemporal scales. The area of specialization is open, though preference will be given to applicants with expertise in topics such as wildlife management, forest dynamics, food systems,
environmental justice, disease ecology, and others that expand <a href="https://www.rwu.edu/academics/schools-and-colleges/fssns/departments/biology-marine-biology-environmental-science/faculty" target="_blank">
