University of Oregon, Oregon, United States
Start reviewing process: 1 October 2022

Posting: Position: 11 tenure line faculty Start reviewing process: 1 October 2022 Apply online: https://environment.uoregon.edu/career

The University of Oregon is hiring a cluster of 11 tenure line faculty with a focus on the environment, most with a focus on climate change and/or environmental justice.

You can find the entire list here: https://environment.uoregon.edu/career

In addition to the Earth Science position in Natural Hazards and Extreme Events, we're searching for an Open Rank Natural Scientist in the Environmental Studies Program to work on climate change mitigation and adaptation.

We seek an interdisciplinary environmental natural scientist (open rank) with expertise in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Successful candidates will have a strong record of collaborative research focused on climate change related challenges such as land-use or ecosystem change, wildfire, water resources and drought, and extreme weather. We are open to candidates who work at any social-ecological scale(s) and in any social-ecological system. Research areas should be directly relevant for underrepresented and vulnerable communities, broadly defined. These topics could be approached through the lenses of environmental science, coupled socio-ecological systems, or mitigation of climate impact on people and ecosystems systems. We are particularly interested in candidates who are committed to collaborative scholarship and leading transdisciplinary research teams at the UO and beyond that include biophysical, social scientists, and humanists to conduct innovative research with potential for societal impact. We seek candidates who engage in teaching that addresses current climate-related issues, that offers innovative and inclusive pedagogy, and/or that links to existing ENVS experiential learning, such as the Environmental Leadership Program.

This position is part of a cluster in transdisciplinary research and teaching in climate solutions and environmental justice. The position will be integrated with the newly formed Environment Initiative, an area of strategic investment at the University of Oregon (https://environment.uoregon.edu/). The Environment Initiative focuses the intellectual energy and work of faculty, students, and community partners on working towards a just and livable future through transdisciplinary research, teaching, and experiential learning.
