I posted this a couple weeks ago, but apparently there was a mistake in when review of applications would begin. The review date is NOT Dec 12th, but Dec 27th. Apologies...
An exciting new position is listed below. Though not specifically stated in the formal ad below, if a biologist is hired for the position his/her departmental home would be in the Biology Department allowing them to recruit both Masters and Doctoral students. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The College of Arts and Sciences of University of South Dakota is in the process of adding a sustainability major and invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty member to promote and grow a sustainability major at USD, teach courses within the program, and contribute to broader campus initiatives related to sustainability. The successful candidate will possess a Ph.D. in a relevant field, along with demonstrated teaching and research interests in sustainability. Candidates from a variety of disciplines in the natural sciences, environmental sciences, and social sciences are encouraged to apply; however, preference will be given to candidates who hold a Ph.D. in Sustainability or have professional experience in a sustainability program. The major being designed is broadly interdisciplinary in nature, with both B.A. and B.S. options for students. We are open to various models of appointment, including a joint appointment or an appointment in a home department. Excellence in teaching is expected, both in the classroom and in mentoring students outside of the classroom. Rank is commensurate with credentials and experience. Apply on line at https://yourfuture.sdbor.edu by submitting a letter of application; curriculum vitae; statement of teaching philosophy; and a statement of research interests.
