Assistant/Associate/Full Professor - Climate Equity and Environmental
Justice - University of California, Berkeley
The University of California, Berkeley seeks applicants for four tenure
track (assistant professor) positions and one tenured (associate or full
professor) position in the area of “Climate Equity and Environmental
Justice,” with an expected start date of July 1, 2021. Successful
candidates will be invited to join one or more of the following units:
Rausser College of Natural Resources (Department of Environmental
Science, Policy and Management and Energy and Resources Group); College
of Letters and Sciences (Sociology); College of Environmental Design
(Departments of City and Regional Planning and Landscape Architecture
and Planning); and College of Engineering (Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering).
Human-induced climate change is transforming our physical and social
world, and we are witnessing a ‘climate gap,’ in which the impacts of
these changes disproportionately affect vulnerable and marginalized
groups due to historically entrenched inequities and more recent shifts
in the global economy. Accordingly, this faculty cluster hiring
initiative focuses on three broad themes: Social Equity and
Environmental Sustainability; Adaptation Infrastructure, Planning and
Design for Climate Justice; and Climate Refugees and Forced Migration.
Basic Qualifications:
• Applicants at the Assistant Professor level must have a J.D., Ph.D.
(or equivalent international degree), or be enrolled in J.D., Ph.D., or
equivalent international degree‐granting program at the time of application.
• Applicants at the Associate Professor level must have a J.D., Ph.D.
(or equivalent international degree) at the time of application.
Preferred qualifications:
• Successful applicants are expected to develop a nationally recognized
program and collaborate across disciplines to develop research
initiatives in the realm of climate equity and environmental justice. We
seek rising leaders from diverse fields including, but not limited to,
the social, physical, natural, biological and environmental health
sciences, civil and environmental engineering, city and regional
planning, and landscape architecture. Candidates should demonstrate
evidence of strong research productivity, potential for securing
extramural funding, and a commitment to excellence in teaching and
mentoring of undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs. We are
particularly interested in scholars with a commitment and track record
of promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the realms of research,
teaching and/or service. At Berkeley, we recognize the intrinsic
relationship between diversity and excellence in all our endeavors and
embrace open and equitable access to opportunities for learning and
development as our obligation and goal. (see
