Yours, Michael Maniates ................ Job posting: Interdisciplinary environment and social science position at the University of Utah The University of Utah has created a new, interdisciplinary faculty cluster focusing on Society, Water, and Climate (SWC). This transformative cluster connects research on ecology, hydrology, air quality, climate change, societal response, and policy, melding multiple scientific perspectives to lead society towards sustainable solutions in a changing world. This interdisciplinary cluster is focused on enhancing the University of Utah's core commitment to sustainability, and complementing ongoing, related research across departments, colleges, and centers on campus. The University of Utah has hired an ecohydrologist, air quality scientist, and a glaciologist as part of the first round of funding. A full description of the SWC team can be found at http://www.utah.edu/faculty/swc/. As part of this cluster initiative, we are seeking Social or Behavioral Scientist applicants for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position at the advanced Assistant or Associate rank to begin in July 2016. Candidates should have an excellent and sustained record of research, a demonstrated ability to generate extramural funding, and extensive experience in working with diverse researchers from across the disciplinary spectrum on projects that link the natural and social sciences in the areas of climate and/or water. The successful candidate must examine the human dimensions of environmental change, as they relate to water and climate change. Research should address at least one of the following areas: sustainability, policy, governance, institutions, communications, planning, behavior change, conservation, cultural adaptation, human behavior, conflict, energy, food security, land use, decision-making under conditions of scarcity, effects of the natural environment on healthy human development, environmental influences on human cognition, behavior, and health, or experiences that promote engagement with the environment and environmental issues. Research should include theoretically-grounded quantitative approaches. Possible home departments for the hire include: Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. The successful candidate may also have an affiliation with the Environmental and Sustainability Studies Program. To begin the application process, go to: https://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/43900. The University of Utah is committed to providing resources to support and grow the SWC cluster. An interdisciplinary committee composed of social and natural scientists will review the applications. The successful candidate must demonstrate potential for genuine collaboration in the SWC cluster and with other interdisciplinary centers at the University of Utah.
