NEW YORK, SYRACUSE
The Department of Geography and the Environment, the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University seeks to hire a scholar whose research focuses on Cartographies of
Racial Justice, with expertise to teach courses in Map Design. This will be a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment.
We seek a scholar whose research and teaching employ digital cartography, geospatial analysis and/or geovisualization to analyze and advocate for racial justice. We are particularly interested in hiring
a geographer who is both trained in and able to teach traditional, technology-driven cartography and map design, web mapping and other courses in geospatial analysis and whose research and teaching interests engage areas of critical cartographic
scholarship, including (but not limited to): Racial justice; Black geographies; Indigenous/Native American geographies; and/or Latinx geographies. Applicants should demonstrate clear evidence of a strong research program and successful teaching experience
(that incorporates commonly used open source and/or proprietary software programs such as but not limited to QGIS, ArcGIS, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Tableau), as well as a demonstrated
commitment to the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
In addition to contributing to the Department's research and teaching concentration in cartography and geospatial technologies, we seek a critical scholar with potential to contribute to initiatives across the Maxwell
School and the broader university. Syracuse University’s Community Geography Program makes our Department a leader in publicly engaged scholarship. Opportunities for interdisciplinary research beyond the department include the Moynihan Institute of Global
Affairs; the Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Cooperation; the Autonomous Systems Policy Institute; the Campbell Public Affairs Institute; the Center for Environmental Policy and Administration; regional programs on the Middle East,
South Asia, East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the European Union, and others. The Department maintains strong collaborative links with other departments and programs in the Maxwell School, as well as scholars in the Departments of African American
Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, Food Studies, Earth and Environmental Sciences and the Native American and Indigenous Studies program. Syracuse University’s campus adjoins the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry
(SUNY ESF), and the Department of Geography and the Environment maintains close collaborative relationships with SUNY ESF faculty and students.
Syracuse University is a diverse community of about 28,000 students, faculty and staff (including about 15,250 undergraduate and 7,500 graduate students). The Department of Geography and the Environment
is located within the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, one of the university’s 13 schools and colleges. The university is located in the city of Syracuse (pop. ~150,000), in Central New York, about 250 miles northwest of New York City. Syracuse
University and the Department of Geography and the Environment are committed to fostering diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, and these values will guide our hiring process. We especially welcome applications from candidates who will not only enhance
our representational diversity but whose research, teaching and community engagement will contribute to diverse, equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for our students, staff and faculty.
Our department is a leading center for cutting-edge, socially relevant research. We also strongly value excellence in teaching, and the successful candidate will be expected to offer both undergraduate
and graduate courses. Faculty members normally teach two courses per semester.
