Open Rank Faculty Search: Cross Disciplinary Search- Sustainability and Resilience

About the Opportunity

Northeastern University is searching for multiple tenured and tenure-track faculty candidates at all ranks (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and/or Professor) as part of a coordinated university-wide search in the broad research area of Sustainability and Resilience. Recent events have highlighted the importance of societies and ecological systems that are both sustainable and resilient when confronted with enormous challenges such as (1) climate change, (2) social and environmental injustice, (3) biodiversity loss, and (4) global disruptions including war, pandemics, or disasters. Global progress in these areas requires transformative scholarship and leadership in many areas, including but not limited to governance and policy, infrastructure system design and construction (with emphasis on innovative infrastructure designs, decarbonization, biological conservation and climate justice), regulatory design that encourages social, political and economic transitions (such as efficient and equitable uses of resources, emphasis on renewables), and fair distribution of burdens without undo impact on other species, the environment and communities with environmental justice concerns. Additional areas of emphasis include connectivity of global supply chains, the future of work, development of inclusive workforces, life cycle impacts of urban architecture including operational and embodied carbon emissions, mitigation and adaptation of coastal ecosystems and settlements, the interaction of genomes with their environments, and the design of resilient and equitable communities and cities. Candidates who employ research methods spanning multiple disciplines and who intend to build interdisciplinary research programs that center on justice and ecological integrity are strongly encouraged to apply.

Faculty will have a primary tenure home department in one of the following colleges: College of Engineering, College of Social Sciences and Humanities, College of Arts, Media and Design, the D'Amore-McKim School of Business, or the School of Law. A secondary joint appointment in a different college or a different department is also possible depending on the candidate's discipline and interests.

Northeastern University is a global university system. Positions will primarily be on the Boston campus but may be available at any of our 14 campus locations.

Responsibilities

Faculty members at Northeastern are expected to develop independent research programs that attract external funding; teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate level; supervise students and postdocs in their area of research; and participate in service to the department, university, and discipline. Candidates interested in conducting high-impact research programs and committed to teaching excellence in the broad areas above are encouraged to apply.

Qualifications

A Ph.D. or terminal degree in a discipline relevant to one of the representative areas of interest and the department of primary appointment by the appointment start date is required. We encourage applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including academia and industry.
