I'm forwarding this on for a colleague at Penn State:
Faculty Position in Human Security and Global Ethics The Department of Geography at The Pennsylvania State University invites applications for a tenure track faculty position at the assistant or associate professor rank. We seek a geographer, or a scholar working in closely related fields, whose research focuses on human security and global ethics. We will consider candidates with expertise in people-centered approaches to human security and who address societal challenges such as human health, environmental and climatic change, conflict, poverty reduction, and development. This position will also contribute to ongoing departmental initiatives on justice, equity and fair distributions of risks. It is expected that the new faculty member will combine cutting-edge theoretical expertise and a strong commitment to teaching with engagement in research that is well positioned for extramural funding. We seek candidates that adhere to Penn State's tripartite mission of excellence in research, teaching and service. This position is one of twelve tenure-track appointments funded by Penn State (www.psu.edu<http://www.psu.edu>) to augment its mission in the important area of ethics. The university is embarking on a transformative series of co-funded hires in ethics designed to ensure that Penn State becomes a leader in ethics-informed interdisciplinary research and the integration of ethical literacy throughout the Penn State curriculum. Co-funded faculty will be hosted as affiliate faculty in the Penn State Rock Ethics Institute (rockethics.psu.edu<http://rockethics.psu.edu>). The Rock Ethics Institute supports climate science, policy and ethics, and global ethics among its priority areas. With this position, we are seeking candidates who will build upon the Department's and the Rock Ethics Institute's tradition of excellence in collaborative, interdisciplinary ethics research and ethically informed decision support for significant societal issues, as well as their success in integrating ethics into the curriculum. We are looking for individuals who will be effective in working on and leading interdisciplinary teams that embed ethical analysis into research projects including decision support research and who have experience and interest in integrating ethics in undergraduate and graduate curricula. Faculty who are hired will be Affiliate Faculty in the Rock Ethics Institute and will receive a one-course release for the first five years designed to enhance collaboration with faculty and students on existing ethics research and curricular initiatives as well as build new initiatives and programs across campus in conjunction with the Institute's mission.
