POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, POLICY, AND MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY The Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management's (ESPM) Division of Society and Environment at the University of California, Berkeley is recruiting for a tenure-track (academic year) assistant professor position in the field of Environmental Policy, with a focus on climate change, with an expected start date of July 1, 2013. Specifically, we are looking for applicants with an interest in innovative approaches to analyzing environmental regulation, the management of public lands and resources, climate change adaptation and mitigation, urbanization and land use, and/or environmental policy processes. We are particularly interested in applicants whose work focuses on climate change related issues and policies in the U.S. (though not exclusively), and who will work with scholars across the natural and social sciences. ESPM is a large, diverse department with strong science and social science contingents that directs itself towards multi-disciplinary approaches to environmental problem-solving. The successful candidate will fit with this mission by conducting research and teaching that is sensitive to rapidly changing social, political, and environmental contexts and oriented toward finding solutions to environmental problems. The successful applicant will be expected to develop a nationally recognized research program on environmental policy and governance, preferably focused on the social dynamics affecting climate change, environmental policy formation and institutional practice, or new dimensions of natural resource law and policy (including agriculture). The successful candidate will also teach an undergraduate core course on U.S. environmental policy (addressing the challenges of making and implementing climate change, agricultural and/or natural resource policies and management) and a graduate course in his/her area of specialization. S/he will also share in teaching required interdisciplinary graduate and undergraduate courses. The successful candidate will have an earned doctoral degree in (but not limited to) the social sciences, such as political science, sociology, science and technology studies, geography or from an appropriate interdisciplinary program, such as public administration, public policy studies, environmental studies, or law. Applications will be accepted through December 3, 2012. Evaluation of applications will continue until the position is filled. The Ph.D. or equivalent is required by date of hire. We are interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and service. UC Berkeley is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty including single parents. Women and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply. Interested individuals should submit the following application materials at http://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF00080: 1) a cover letter, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) a statement of research interests, teaching experience, and service, 4) pdf copies of up to 3 recent publications, and 5) three letters of recommendation (requested directly through our online application system).
