Subject: Position in Environmental Policy, Health, and Disease
Date: Friday, December 10, 1999 8:18 AM
Position: Environmental Policy, Health and Disease
The Departments of Environmental Science, Policy and Management
(Division of Resource Institutions, Policy and Management) and
Agricultural and Resource Economics and Policy invite applications for
a nine-month tenure-track appointment at the assistant professorial
level in Environmental Policy, Health and Disease, beginning July 1,
2000. The position is intended to bring policy analysis to bear on the
social causes of ecological changes that affect human health and
disease. The incumbent will work with faculty and students who range
across the social, ecological, health, nutritional, regional and
atmospheric sciences. Faculty work includes, for example, the effects
of river basin strategies on water-borne disease and of settlement
patterns on mosquito-borne diseases and human nutrition;
wildlife-vectored water contamination, relations between biodiversity
and human health and between climate change and human disease. The
incumbent is expected to bring to these groups exceptional capacities
in explaining relations between public policy and ecological change and
in the measurement and analysis of spatially dynamic social processes.
The incumbent will teach a course on the social causes and consequences
of ecologically-generated disease patterns. S/he will develop a
graduate course focused on environmental policy and spatially dynamic
social-ecological interactions or another preferred characterization of
primary interests, and will participate in team-taught courses oriented
toward policy analysis and research methods. S/he will participate in
the new Graduate Group on Health, Environment and Development as well
as in the departmental graduate programs. A Ph.D. is required in the
social sciences, with expertise in public policy and the statistics of
spatially dynamic processes. A working knowledge of ecology is highly
desired.
Please send a letter stating interest and qualifications for the
position, curriculum vitae, all academic transcripts, and names of four
referees before February 1, 2000, to Chair, Environmental Policy Search
Committee, Division of Resource Institutions, Policy and Management,
217 Giannini Hall, University of California, Berkeley 94720. The
