College</a> invites applications for a full-time, tenure-eligible Assistant Professor position in environmental science. We seek an inspired and dedicated teacher who is also eager to involve undergraduates in an active research program. The teaching and research
of this environmental scientist should be solutions-oriented, methodologically sound, and well-integrated with recent developments in environmental sustainability, policy, politics, and justice. The person hired for this position will join a department committed
to place-based interdisciplinary experiential education and develop a robust locally-rooted teaching and scholarship program over time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Position Responsibilities</b><o:p></o:p></p>

College, a productive research program including peer-reviewed publications and attempts to secure extramural funding is also a criterion for tenure. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of our hallmarks is student-faculty collaborative research. All ENVS faculty work with several students at a time in a research lab group or workshop. These collaborations are supported by three teaching load credits (equivalent to

<p class="MsoNormal">The Department of the Environment (ENVS) is a vibrant community of teachers, scholars, staff, and students officially founded in 2009 after growing for ten years as an inter-departmental program. ENVS is a nexus of activity at Ithaca College,
offering interdisciplinary, place-based, experiential education through a B.S. program in Environmental Science and a minor in Environment and Society. After a period of exponential growth in enrollment, the department now has a stable population of about
100 majors and 50 minors. Interdisciplinary, integrative, and systems thinking is the norm, and the department maintains numerous productive collaborative engagements with administrative offices and other departments on campus, as well as community partners
off campus. The full-time faculty include a naturalist, an ecotoxicologist, an archaeologist, an ecologist, a historian, and a geographer. While faculty members have varied interests, all are united in working with students to thrive professionally in a world
of intensifying environmental crisis. <o:p></o:p></p>

Nestled in the heart of New York State’s scenic Finger Lakes region, Ithaca College sits atop South Hill overlooking picturesque Cayuga Lake and is just minutes away from the city center. Combining small town warmth and charm with the vibrancy of a college
community, the thriving and culturally diverse city of Ithaca has been rated by Kiplinger’s as one of the top 10 places to live in the United States.<o:p></o:p></p>
