Regional Development and the University's Udall Center for Studies in Public
Policy. The position should appear in the April AAG newsletter, but we will

TUCSON, ARIZONA 85721. The Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy
(http://udallcenter.arizona.edu/) and the Department of Geography and Regional
Development (http://geog.arizona.edu) invite applications for a tenure track
Assistant/Associate Professor in the area of environmental science/studies and
policy. This is a shared position, with a tenure home in GRD and a research
assignment in the Center. It holds considerable advantages for the right
candidate. The Center was established in 1987. It sponsors policy-relevant,
interdisciplinary research that links scholarship and education with
decision-making. The Center specializes in issues concerning the environment,
including water, climate, natural resources, and land use, especially as they
relate to economic development, American Indian governance, public lands, and
the U.S.-Mexico border. The Center is particularly interested in a geographer
or closely allied scholar who can provide research leadership in one or more of
these areas, or who can contribute new but related foci. Faculty in GRD
specialize in physical geography, human-environmental relations, regional
development, and critical human geography. Together we are seeking an energetic
person keen to work within a dynamic interdisciplinary environment.
Responsibilities for the Center are fully directed toward the establishment and
maintenance of a research program of excellence; affiliation with GRD allows the
right person the opportunity to be associated with a growing academic unit
supporting excellent undergraduate and graduate programs. Teaching in GRD is
reduced in recognition of the research load associated with Center
responsibilities. Additional opportunities exist for working with world class
environmental and policy researchers across the University of Arizona campus.
The Center and Department are seeking an individual who is able to work with
diverse students and colleagues, and who has experience with a variety of
teaching methods and curricular perspectives. To apply, visit the University of
Arizona job webpage at www.uacareertrack.com, and enter Job No.32363. Applicants
should be prepared to submit a CV, letter of interest, statement of research and
teaching interests (outlining current/future research contributions and teaching
qualifications/preferences), and the names and addresses of three referees.
Additional materials, such as a teaching portfolio and research articles, may
be subsequently requested by the search committee. The position is open until
filled, with applications reviewed on a continual basis beginning March 31,
2005. Anticipated start date is January 2006. The position is subject to final
budgetary approval. As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer,
the University of Arizona recognizes the power of a diverse community and
encourages applications from individuals with varied experiences, perspectives,
and backgrounds. The University of Arizona is an AA/EEO Employer-M/W/D/V.
