Interdisciplinary Land Use/Land Cover Scientist Stanford Universitys School of Earth Sciences and the Woods Institute for Environment jointly seek applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at either the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level in the area of land use and land cover (LU/LC) change. We welcome applications from individuals with research interests in the causes, nature, and consequences of LU/LC change. Research topics could include: evaluating land-use dynamics (e.g. urban growth, agricultural expansion or intensification); understanding the primary drivers of LU/LC change; understanding and modeling impacts of LU/LC change on biogeochemical or hydrological processes, and their consequences for biological and social systems; and/or forecasting future patterns of LU/LC change. The successful candidate will have strong quantitative and spatial modeling skills; experience integrating field data with GIS and/or remote sensing; the ability to collaborate with a broad range of natural and social scientists; and a strong desire to teach at the graduate and undergraduate levels, in the Department of Environmental Earth System Science and on interdisciplinary topics.
