To submit an application, please use this link: http://tufts.taleo.net/careersection/tufts_fac_ext_cs/jobdetail.ftl?job=15001724 Faculty Position in Water, Health, and Security Bridge Professorship The Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy Tufts University Boston, Massachusetts Associate or Full Professor Tenured Research and Teaching Appointment October 6, 2015 The Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy (http://www.nutrition.tufts.edu/) and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (http://fletcher.tufts.edu) at Tufts University (http://www.tufts.edu/) seek internationally recognized leaders as candidates for a tenured faculty position at the level of Associate or Full Professor in Water, Health, and Security. The rank will be determined by experience and accomplishments, and the successful candidate for Bridge Professor will hold a joint appointment in both schools. Candidates must possess a doctoral degree in a relevant field (biological sciences, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, economics, nutrition, public health, epidemiology, public policy, political science, law, or a related field), and demonstrate outstanding scholarship in addressing linkages between water, health, and security. The water, health, and security nexus operates at multiple scales, from individuals to communities to countries. Individually and collectively, water, health, and security shape food systems, nutrition, political stability, and sustainable development. The Friedman and Fletcher Schools therefore seek exceptional candidates poised to expand understanding of these linkages. Candidates should conduct rigorous, policy-relevant and impact-driven research that supports robust responses to challenges at the water-health-security nexus. A wide variety of research themes fit within the topic, including: transboundary water conflicts and cooperation; causal links between water, health, and/or security; public health-enhancing water management; water scarcity under increasing demand and climate change; and institutional suitability for water/health/security nexus. The candidate’s research could involve one or more of a wide range of research methods, including modeling, statistics, case studies, and other qualitative methods. The successful candidate should bring and further develop a vigorous, externally-funded research program; teach two to three graduate-level courses per year; advise and mentor master’s and doctoral students; supervise doctoral dissertations; and engage in University and professional service. Preference will be given to candidates who have a global perspective and who have a proven record of scholarship and research interest in this field. The successful candidate should develop collaborations with faculty at the Friedman School and the Fletcher School, as well as with relevant faculty at other schools across Tufts University. The Candidate will also lead the water research program in Fletcher’s Center for International Environment and Resource Policy (www.fletcher.tufts.edu/cierp). Affiliations are also possible with the Water: Science, Systems, and Society (WSSS) program as well as the Tufts Institute of the Environment (TIE). The Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy distinguishes itself by its breadth of scholarship in nutrition research, education, and public impact: from cell to society, food security to healthy aging, individuals to policy, and health to sustainability. The Friedman School bring together biomedical, interventional, social, behavioral, public health, economics, and food systems scientists to conduct work that improves the nutritional health and well-being of populations throughout the world. The Fletcher School, established in 1933, is the first graduate school of international affairs in the United States. The Fletcher School’s faculty is multidisciplinary with a focus on connecting theory with practice. Fletcher faculty undertake research and prepare our masters and doctoral students to use the latest political, economic, business, and legal thinking to generate pragmatic policies that will successfully shape global events. Together, the interdisciplinary and integrative education and research programs of the Friedman and Fletcher Schools complement the intellectually rich environment across Tufts, a “Research Class 1” university and top-25-ranked undergraduate institution. Home to seven graduate and professional schools across three campuses, Tufts University prides itself on its culture of cross-school partnerships. As well, our location in the Boston area provides extensive opportunities for academic and external collaborations, as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the New England region. Salary and benefits are competitive and will be commensurate with the successful candidate’s experience. The starting date is negotiable. Generous recruitment resources are available for exceptional candidates, including funding and space to facilitate research growth and scientific and public impact. Applications will be accepted beginning October 19, 2016. The review process will commence on November 30th, and will continue until the position is filled. Questions about the position should be directed to the Search Committee Co-Chairs, Prof. Kelly Sims Gallagher at Fletcher ([email protected]) and/or Prof. Timothy Griffin at Friedman ([email protected]). Tufts University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to increasing the diversity of our faculty, and thus, women and members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Qualifications Candidates must possess a doctoral degree in a relevant field (biological sciences, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, economics, nutrition, public health, epidemiology, public policy, political science, law, or a related field), and demonstrate outstanding scholarship in addressing linkages between water, health, and security. Preference will be given to candidates who have a global perspective and who have a proven record of scholarship and research interest in this field.
