Tenure-track Position in Urban Ecology at the University of Texas at Austin
The School of Architecture (www.soa.utexas.edu) and Environmental
Science Institute (ESI, www.esi.utexas.edu) at The University of
Texas at Austin invite applications for a faculty position in Urban
Ecology. The appointment will be at the level of Assistant Professor,
but a higher level appointment may be considered for exceptional
candidates. We seek an individual with interests in interdisciplinary
research and teaching. The ideal candidate will have research and
teaching interests that will contribute to the planning and design of
environmentally sustainable communities; and will be able to address
the influence of global change on the ecology of urban environments.
A major objective of this new position is to engage in new
collaborative programs at UT-Austin, including ESI's Global Change
Studies Center.
The position is at the rank of Assistant Professor in the School of
Architecture, which offers graduate degree programs in landscape
architecture, sustainable design, urban design, and community and
regional planning. The successful candidate will be expected to
collaborate in sponsored research through the ESI and will be
expected to build an interdisciplinary research program with one or
more academic units affiliated with ESI, such as Integrative Biology,
Geological Sciences, Geography, Engineering, and the social sciences.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree at the time of appointment.
Primary teaching responsibilities will be in the School of
Architecture, but courses will likely be of interest to and be
cross-listed with a variety of other ESI-affiliated departments.
Courses that support new interdisciplinary curricula in Environmental
Science will also be of interest.
Applicants should send a single PDF file containing their cover
letter, CV, research statement, and teaching statement to the Search
Committee Chair, Dr. Steven Moore, at the address below. The
statement of research interests should mention how the research would
address topics relating to global change. Applicants should also
arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent directly to the
Chair via Email at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
