We seek a scholar/practitioner who mixes a scientific perspective with the social sciences and humanities. Candidates should bring a scientific perspective and a natural history orientation to the study of the social and physical ecology of southern California.

The person will work in a program that values international and intercultural perspectives and the bridging of traditional boundaries to achieve insight about humans and their relationship with the world. Additional areas of interest might include environmental justice, racism and ethics, agroecology, cultural diversity concerns within both scientific ecology and the environmental movement, and the social ecology of urban settings. A Ph.D. or equivalent in a relevant discipline is required. Pitzer College, a member of the Claremont Colleges, has a strong institutional commitment to diversity in all areas and strongly encourages candidates from historically underrepresented social groups. We favor candidates who can contribute to the College's distinctive educational objectives, which promote interdisciplinary perspectives, intercultural understanding, and concern with social responsibility and the ethical implications of knowledge and action.
