Colorado College is hiring a tenure track assistant professor of environmental science to join the College’s interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Program beginning in August 2024. We are looking for a scientist with expertise in hydrologic responses to contemporary climate change. We are particularly interested in applicants who employ both field and modeling-based approaches and have expertise in groundwater hydrology, groundwater-surface water interactions, biogeochemistry, snow hydrology, or permafrost dynamics. A commitment to the human and social justice elements of environmental science is also a priority. The successful candidate must be able to teach Introduction to Global Climate Change, Hydrology, and advanced electives in their area of expertise.
Colorado College is a private, undergraduate, selective liberal arts institution enrolling approximately 2,200 students. One distinguishing feature of Colorado College is 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 teach six of the eight blocks in an academic year, including one block dedicated to supervising senior theses. Applicants must be committed to high quality, innovative undergraduate teaching and to mentoring undergraduate student research. The Block Plan lends itself to field and project-based teaching, and funds and logistical support for such projects are available through the College and through the Environmental Studies program.
The College actively promotes a dynamic and inclusive environment in which students and employees of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives can learn and work. We are committed to becoming an antiracist institution in all of our policies, practices, and pedagogies (please see https://www.coloradocollege.edu/other/antiracism-commitment/). Applicants should include a statement that describes ways they can contribute to these goals and their understanding of how issues of environmental and social justice can be incorporated into natural science courses.
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, national origin, gender, age, religion, caste, gender identity or expression, disability, or sexual orientation in its educational programs, activities, and employment practices. The Environmental Studies Program believes the College grows stronger by recruiting and retaining a diverse faculty committed to building an inclusive community. Candidates who can contribute to this goal are particularly encouraged to apply.
