Dear Colleagues,

I would be grateful for your help in getting the word out about our tenure
track position in *Urban-Environment and Asian Geography* at the Assistant

field questions from potential candidates.

Applications are invited to apply for a tenure-track position in
Urban-Environment and Asian Geography at the Assistant Professor level to
begin fall 2015. Ph.D. in Geography required. The successful candidate will
teach a range of courses in his/her areas of expertise in urban-environment
geography that complement the existing strengths of the department. We are
especially interested in candidates with expertise in East or South Asia,

remote sensing and/or environmental GIS techniques. Examples of courses
that might be taught by the successful candidate include: geography of
world urbanization, Asian cities, urban ecology, regional geography of
Asia, remote sensing, and environmental GIS. A strong commitment to liberal
arts education, civic engagement, and undergraduate research activities is
essential. If appropriate, successful candidates can play important roles
in the interdisciplinary and other programs listed on the college web page
(including Urban Studies, Environmental Studies, and Asian Studies).
