Northwestern University is accepting applications for an open rank tenure-track position in Environmental Social Science that starts in fall 2013. The successful applicant will be a member in a home department in one of the social sciences (Anthropology, History, Political Science, Psychology, or Sociology) and will participate in the interdisciplinary Environmental Policy and Culture Program.

We seek colleagues with a strong commitment to empirical research (quantitative or qualitative) and excellence in teaching. Ph.D. by the time of appointment and teaching experience are expected. AA/EOE applications from women and under-represented minority candidates are especially encouraged.
Applicants should submit (1) a letter of intent describing their current research agenda and teaching experience/interests, (2) one representative written work, (3) a curriculum vitae, and (4) the names and contact information for three referees via the online application system found at http://www.weinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty/search/environment/ . Only electronic application materials will be accepted. The internal review process for applications will begin on November 8, 2012 and continue until the position is filled.
