Assistant/Associate Professor
 Human Dimensions of Coupled Natural-Human Systems
The School of Natural Resources and the Environment (http://snre.arizona.edu/) at the University of Arizona seeks outstanding applicants for a tenure-eligible position emphasizing the human dimension and decision making of coupled natural-human systems. Societies are facing unprecedented environmental challenges to their well-being due to myriad anthropogenic effects on ecosystems including the loss of biodiversity; climate change; over-exploitation of water, wildlife, and other natural resources; invasive species; and habitat fragmentation. As the state’s land-grant institution with integrated research-education-outreach programs, the successful candidate will (1) conduct research that will help us understand and anticipate the nature of these challenges in arid and semi-arid settings; (2) contribute to collaborative decision-making processes for natural resource governance and policy that spans local to global scales, and natural to social sciences and (3) train diverse scientists, land and wildlife managers, citizens, and decision-makers to address the challenges that confront society and the ecosystems that support us. The successful candidate is expected to develop and maintain a vigorous, collaborative, and externally funded research program that emphasizes arid and semi-arid systems, that engages diverse disciplines from natural to social sciences, that contributes to the human dimension components of wildlife & fisheries ecology, conservation biology and rangeland ecology courses in our curriculum and that promotes and enhances cultural diversity, particularly in areas underrepresented in the discipline. See uacareers.com (posting F20894) for a more detailed overview and application procedures. Review of applications will commence April 10, 2017 and continue until a suitable candidate is found. Start date negotiable. Direct questions to Professor Steve Archer, Chair of the Search Committee ([email protected]) or (520) 626-8791.
