Environmental Science- Assistant Professor Queens University of Charlotte invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Environmental Science at the rank of assistant professor beginning August 2007.

The ideal candidate will actively engage students in research. For consideration, please send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy, and three letters of reference to: Environmental Science Search CAS DeanÂ’s Office, P.O. Box 1427 Queens University of Charlotte 1900 Selwyn Avenue Charlotte, NC 28274. Consideration of applications will begin November 1, 2006 and will continue until the position is filled.
