Curriculum for the Environment and Ecology The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The Curriculum for the Environment and Ecology invites applications for a position of Associate Professor. Under very special circumstances where a candidate also satisfies criteria for endowment funds from an associated department, consideration will be given to the rank of Full Professor. The Curriculum seeks outstanding candidates who have a demonstrated excellence in both teaching and research and who have the potential to provide leadership in the Curriculum. Priority will be given to candidates with strong interdisciplinary backgrounds with demonstrated interests and record of building programs. Candidates must have a PhD in a field related to the environment, including but not restricted to Anthropology, Biology, Economics, Geography, Geology, Marine Science, and Public Policy. Some areas of special interest are environment and social sciences, energy, hydrology, and atmospheric sciences. The successful candidate will have his or her primary appointment in an appropriate department within the College of Arts and Sciences, but a major portion of their time and energy will be devoted to the Curriculum. The Curriculum is a unit of the College of Arts and Sciences. It offers graduate degrees in Ecology, a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies, and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. Approximately 25 fulltime students are enrolled in the graduate program, and there are approximately 200 majors at the undergraduate level. Students in the program benefit from a close working relationship with the UNC Institute for the Environment which offers a number of opportunities for experiential education, including operation of field study sites. More detail about the Curriculum and the Institute may be found at www.cee.unc.edu and www.ie.unc.edu. Students pursuing undergraduate degrees may select from several concentrations, including Environment and Health, Ecology, Land Use and Transportation Planning, Environmental Decision-making, Environmental Communication, Environment and Culture, and Environment and Natural Resources. The University of North Carolina is an equal opportunity employer, and the Curriculum is committed to increasing diversity of its faculty. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Candidates should submit application through UNC??s Human Resources jobseekers website at jobs.unc.edu/1002014. Include at least three references from whom letters may be sought for candidates who are placed on a short list. The Search Committee will begin review of candidates immediately.
