As a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Geography, the successful candidate will have a focused research agenda in support of disaster-resilience and adaptation, inequalities as related to pre- and post-disaster outcomes, and the application of research toward
action to improve communities. The ability to teach courses and conduct research focused on disasters, including physical and human perspectives and processes, climate resilience, risk or vulnerability assessment, health hazards, or geographic information
systems as applied to environmental hazards is desired. We seek an innovative scholar to support the growth of the department’s Hazards Vulnerability and Resilience Institute as a national and international leader in this field. This position is also part
of a Presidential level cluster hiring initiative focused on water quality, environmental health, and disaster preparedness.</div>
