ASSISTANT PROFESSOR. The University of Colorado seeks candidates for a
position of assistant professor with expertise in sustainable food
systems or related fields of food harvest or production and its
environmental implications. The environmental consequences of human
food needs are inherently interdisciplinary, in that they involve
ecological processes, natural resource management, policies to address
equity and security, public health, and human values and decisions. We
seek candidates with research explicitly focused on the interactions
between food systems and the supporting environment. Topical research
foci for this position could include (but are not limited to):
environmental effects of locally, organically-grown, and
genetically-modified food, aquaculture, traditional and indigenous
agricultural systems; sustainable fisheries; links between fuel and
food production and environmental conservation; food justice; energy
and water use in agriculture. Candidates should have experience in
these or related fields and a clear research plan to continue or
expand these efforts, congruent with the broad interdisciplinary
orientation of the ENVS program at CU Boulder. Candidates from any
relevant field of social or natural sciences or the humanities are
encouraged to apply.
The candidate will have a primary appointment in the Environmental
Studies program (ENVS) at CU-Boulder. The ENVS program is a dynamic,
internationally recognized program with over 25 faculty, 55 graduate
students, and over 1000 undergraduate majors
(http://envs.colorado.edu/about/). Applicants are encouraged to visit
this site to learn more about ENVS's broad and interdisciplinary
composition.
Consideration of applications will begin on October 14, 2013 and will
continue until the appointment is made. Please submit a cover letter
indicating interest in the position, curriculum vitae, statements of
research and teaching interests and complete contact information for
at least three referees to https://www.jobsatcu.com, posting # 818573.
A successful candidate should use these documents to demonstrate an
innovative and interdisciplinary approach to research and education in
environmental studies. A PhD or equivalent doctoral degree in
disciplines related to environmental studies at the time of
appointment, evidence of current scholarly activity as well as a
commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education are
required.
