of Geography seeks a faculty fellow in the broad fields of physical and/or environmental geography to begin August 16, 2024. This two-year program is intended to lead to a tenure-track position in the Department.<br>
<br>
In keeping with the University’s commitment to “cultivating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus where every individual has the opportunity to flourish and thrive,” the Bridge to Faculty Program is designed to attract and retain promising scholars
to the University of South Carolina with an emphasis on outreach to underrepresented early-career scholars. Specifically, the program seeks to recruit early-career scholars who, if successful during the program, will have the opportunity to transition to a
tenure-track faculty appointment at USC at the start of the 2026-2027 academic year. As a member of the 2nd cohort of Bridge to Faculty Fellows from across the university, the Fellow will have a home in Geography alongside a dynamic group of scholars. With
the additional support of USC’s Office of Access and Opportunity and Provost’s Office, Faculty Fellows will have access to institutional resources designed to support their readiness for a tenure-track position.<br>
<br>
The Faculty Fellow will be expected to: (1) develop a robust program of research in physical and/or environmental processes (2) meet regularly with faculty mentors; (3) participate in professional development opportunities; and (4) participate in the intellectual
life of the Geography department and the University. The Fellow will also have the option to teach one class in the second year.<br>
