*Environmental Studies:* Dickinson College invites applicants for a tenure-track position in Environmental Policy at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in our Environmental Studies Department, commencing July 1, 2011. The successful candidate will be strongly interdisciplinary, preferably with primary training in the social sciences but with significant understanding of the natural sciences as they contribute to policy formation and implementation. They will be expected to initiate an active research agenda, engage students in research, provide opportunities for service-learning, and build on our strong community-based research programs. The candidate will be expected to teach a section of our introductory environmental science course, offer an intermediate-level course on U.S. environmental policy, and contribute to our First Year and senior seminar course offerings, all in rotation with existing faculty. Department members work closely with Dickinson’s new Center for Sustainability Education. Apply online at: https://jobs.dickinson.edu. Further inquiries may be forwarded to Professor Michael Heiman, [email protected]. Review of candidates will begin on November 1 and continue until December 20, 2010. *Environmental History:* The History Department at Dickinson College seeks a tenure-track assistant professor with a focus in Environmental History. Area of specialization is open, but the successful candidate should be able to teach a range of undergraduate courses.
