Bioenergy Tenure-Track Faculty positions The University of Wisconsin-Madison is committed to improving our energy future through renewable energy research and discovery. To facilitate that commitment, UW-Madison's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) formed the Wisconsin Bioenergy Initiative (WBI) to grow bioenergy expertise among UW-Madison, UW-System and Wisconsin stakeholders. The WBI is a university-based coalition that helps the talent within Wisconsin create, commercialize and promote bioenergy solutions. Its goal is to harness the talent, creativity and natural resources in Wisconsin to build a renewable energy landscape in our home state and beyond.
In order to advance these goals, UW-Madison is seeking individuals to grow bioenergy expertise in established departments with focus areas including, but not limited to: . Behavior change, public attitudes and social marketing, particularly in the energy sector. . Applied ethics and public policy to support the understanding of the social impacts of new energy technologies. . Ecological modeling which may include time series analysis, spatial statistics, hierarchical models and Bayesian statistics that can be applied to natural resource management, including assessment of bioenergy potential and impacts. . Community and regional development, with an emphasis on the economic and physical infrastructure needed for bioenergy development, and the analysis of social, cultural and land use impacts of bioenergy production, distribution and use. The UW-Madison campus is located in the heart of the city of Madison, Wisconsin that offers an unsurpassed vibrant living and learning community.
