Dean, Yale University's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies
Please distribute widely ** DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Yale University's School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES) seeks outstanding candidates for the Deanship of the School. F&ES is more than a century old, and recognized worldwide as a leading institution for forestry, environmental science, industrial environmental management, environmental policy, environmental social science, and related fields, teaching and research being carried out by nearly 40 academic faculty and frequent distinguished visitors. The School will move into Kroon Hall, designed as a LEED-platinum building, at the end of 2008. F&ES has a widely-acclaimed doctoral program and a large Master's program (one of the oldest in the country in this field), and it shares coordination of Yale College's new undergraduate Environmental Studies major. The school has a global orientation, as reflected in its involvement in a number of areas of global research and its active recruitment of international students, who comprise nearly one-third of the student body. F&ES plays a central role in Yale University's widely recognized activities in environmental scholarship, education, and operations. Yale's Office of Sustainability is internationally recognized as a leader in these areas, and the University is among the few organizations of any kind to have made a firm commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to pre-1990 levels. Candidates for the Deanship should have demonstrated strong capabilities for leadership, as well as a record of scholarship in a suitable area of forestry or environmental studies, either in an academic setting, the non-governmental sector, or a government agency. Extensive international experience and an international perspective are desirable, as is a record of leadership in multidisciplinary research and in graduate and undergraduate education, and a record of successful funding for research and institutional development. Applications should include a letter of interest, a complete CV, and a list of three references. All information should be sent to Robert Burger, FES Dean Search Committee, Office of the Provost, Yale University, 1 Hillhouse Ave., P.O. Box 208365, New Haven, CT 06520-8365, USA.

Global fisheries management
Hi Geped, We've added this year a section on fisheries for our class on "International Environmental Policy and Management" (Graeme Auld is TAing) We're spending time on both the problem and the institutions that are evolving to address them.

This latter part of the process is entertaining but not always very fruitful even with my prompting.
