hi all, Please see below for information about a faculty position at Emory. We are particularly seeking scholars with interdisciplinary training and research activity for this position. We are looking for candidates with some training in the social sciences, broadly defined. While there is an urban focus to the position, this could include work that is not focused exclusively on urban systems. For example, it could include urban / rural or urban / natural system linkages.
We will start reviewing positions on 20 November, but applications posted within 30 days of that date are assured full review. cheers, Berry Description The Department of Environmental Sciences (ENVS) at Emory University invites applications for a full-time, nine-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Urban Social-Ecological Systems.
