<p class="MsoNormal">The School of Integrated Sciences (<span class="caps">SIS</span>) at James Madison University invites applications for a cluster hire of
<b>four</b> tenure-track faculty positions with a focus on sustainability and resilience. As a unit that engages with environmental issues holistically, we seek colleagues who can approach sustainability from scientific, technical, and/or critical human perspectives.
These positions will address curricular needs within <span class="caps">SIS</span> while supporting a larger initiative to enhance academic capacities in sustainability across the school. College and university-level sustainability efforts use the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals as a framework for identifying priorities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b><span style="mso-ligatures:none">The four available positions will be distributed between two job postings. Please visit JMU’s JobLink site for further details regarding each posting, including additional

and strive to dismantle all forms of discrimination. We prioritize balance and positive impact through integration – of teaching and research, of disciplines, of difference. We highly value autonomy and collaboration; our culture is one of care, appreciation,
and support. Our leadership is characterized by transparency, honesty in communication, and fairness. For more information about our School and its programs, please visit:

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching, each position requires an active scholarly program (research and/or application) that enriches and engages faculty and students in

(more broadly, including critical perspectives), climate resilience, and/or other closely related environmental and sustainability related topics.<o:p></o:p></p>
