Dear colleagues, Please find attached an announcement for an assistant professor position available with the Environmental Policy Group of Wageningen University, the Netherlands. The Environmental Policy Group is one of the larger social science departments at Wageningen University and is at the forefront of globalization, global environmental change and sustainability research in the Netherlands and abroad. The group is headed by Prof. Arthur P.J. Mol and consists of about 15 senior staff / researchers, about 30 PhD students from all over the world, and 40 masters students. Disciplinary backgrounds of the staff are mainly political science and sociology. Detailed information about the group is available at: www.enp.wur.nl The available position is for an environmental sociologist, political scientist or social geographer, with a specialization in climate / energy governance and policy. It is important to note that, unlike assistant professor tracks in the US, this position will become a permanant one after (only) 2 years, subject to a positive evaluation. As someone who has moved recently from the US to Europe (and from a range of US universities to Wageningen), I can attest to the dynamic and internationally competitive nature of this group's research and teaching efforts, and to the hard-to-beat quality of life (academic and non-academic) in the Netherlands, the weather notwithstanding... [I enjoyed my time in the US as well, so this is not to be taken as US bashing :-) Simply that I have spent sufficient time in universities elsewhere to be in a good position to assess the strengths of the place I am currently at...] So please circulate to any and all who might be interested in applying. I am happy to discuss the position in more detail with those interested in knowing more. Thanks and best regards, Aarti Gupta ____________________ Aarti Gupta Assistant Professor Environmental Policy Group Wageningen University Hollandseweg 1 6706 KN Wageningen, Netherlands Phone: +31-(0)317-482496 / 484452 Fax: +31(0)317-483990 Mobile: +31-(0)628729382 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.enp.wur.nl <http://www.enp.wur.nl/>
