Postdoctoral Teaching and Research Fellowship in Environmental Health/Health Geography
The Environmental Studies Program (ENST) at Colgate University, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, invites applications for a teaching and research postdoctoral fellowship starting in August 2008. The fellowship is intended for a recent Ph.D. whose training and research are in environmental health and/or health and medical geography. This is a two-year position (contingent on successful completion of first year) that combines teaching and research at a liberal arts institution. Colgate faculty members will provide mentoring of both teaching and research activities. Teaching responsibilities will be the equivalent of three ENST-related courses each year. We are looking for candidates whose background in health and environmental geography will complement the expertise of Colgate faculty affiliated with ENST, including geographers, biologists, economists and geologists, and whose research can make use of the existing analytical facilities at Colgate University. We are especially interested in candidates who anticipate a career that would combine undergraduate teaching and research. Annual compensation is $40,300 plus benefits. Please visit Colgate University's website http://www.colgate.edu/ for information regarding the ENST program, its concentrations and faculty affiliations. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, including addresses and email addresses of at least three potential referees, a short description of teaching experience and teaching philosophy, and a research plan for the duration of the postdoctoral fellowship appointment to Professor Maureen Hays-Mitchell, Department of Geography, Colgate University, 13 Oak Drive, Hamilton, NY 13346. Evaluation of applications will begin June 15, 2008 and will continue until the position is filled. Colgate University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Developing and sustaining a diverse faculty and staff furthers the University's educational mission.
