The Department of Environmental Sciences in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at The University of Toledo invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in environmental sciences with a focus on the land-lake interface within the Laurentian Great Lakes to commence August 2015. The successful candidate will develop a high quality, externally-funded research program with a broad emphasis on coupled human-natural systems and environmental sustainability. We seek a new colleague with a strong commitment to collaborative research across disciplines.
