<p class="MsoNormal">The Environmental Studies and Science Program at Colorado College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Environmental Science with specialization in Soil Science, to begin Fall 2026.<br>
<br>
Environmental Studies and Science is an interdisciplinary program at Colorado College with faculty whose teaching and research interests stretch across the environmental sciences, social sciences, and humanities. We are seeking a soil scientist who will complement
our existing environmental science expertise by examining the connections between global climate change and soils. Potential areas of emphasis include soil carbon dynamics, nutrient cycling, soil health and agriculture, soil management and/or restoration,
impacts of wildfire on soil resources, or soil biogeochemistry. We are excited about candidates who combine field and/or lab research with large-scale data analysis or modeling in their teaching and research—and who value opportunities for meaningful collaboration
across the environmental studies and science landscape. As teacher-scholars, we hope to welcome a new colleague who is excited about supporting undergraduate research and dedicated to high quality, innovative undergraduate education. We are excited to share
the opportunities that exist here for field-based teaching (including developing local, regional, and international courses) and for partnerships both across campus and in our community. The successful candidate will teach Introduction to Global Climate Change,
Soil Science in the Anthropocene, advanced electives in their area of expertise, and other courses as appropriate in the curriculum.<br>
<br>
Colorado College is a nationally recognized, residential liberal arts and sciences college enrolling approximately 2,100 students from across the US and around the world. The College, located on a 99-acre campus in Colorado Springs, is distinguished by its
immersive learning and pedagogy made possible by the Block Plan, in which professors teach, and students take, one course at a time. Each block is three and a half weeks long, allowing for unique teaching and learning strategies. Professors have a six-block
teaching duty in the eight-block year, where one of the six blocks may be assigned to supervising senior and independent projects.<br>
<br>
Colorado College actively promotes a dynamic and inclusive environment in which students and employees of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives can learn and work. Read more about the College’s commitment in our Institutional Equity & Belonging web
page and the strategic plan “The Strategy for a More Just CC.”<br>
<br>
Colorado College is an equal opportunity employer that welcomes members of all groups and reaffirms its commitment not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, caste, disability, protected
veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law in its educational programs, activities, and employment practices. We believe that College grows stronger by recruiting, retaining, and promoting a diverse faculty committed to diversity and equity
in education and employment.<o:p></o:p></p>
