Assistant Professor in Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change The Department of Earth System Science at UC Irvine is recruiting a tenure-track assistant professor in the human dimensions of global environmental change. The successful candidate will complement the Department's existing strengths in atmospheric, oceanographic, terrestrial, and cryospheric science. Areas of interest for the human dimensions search include land use change, food and resource security, and modeling human-environment interactions. Possible focal areas include: examining the rates and drivers of contemporary land cover change and deforestation; investigating interactions between land use, ecosystem services, and climate; understanding the impacts of demographic trends or climate change on resource security, poverty, or famine; using integrated assessment modeling or other quantitative approaches to explore linkages and feedbacks between the environment and economics, policy, energy consumption, or trade.
Candidates are expected to develop an active research program, interact with other Earth System Science faculty, and to teach and direct research at the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels. All candidates must have a Ph.D. Apply online at https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/ or contact [email protected]. The selection process begins January 9, 2012 and will remain open until filled. -- Steven M.
