Assistant Professor of Environment and Sustainability – Earth Sciences

The Department of Environment and Sustainability (ENVS) at Ohio Wesleyan University invites applications for an assistant professorship in earth sciences with teaching and research abilities in hydrology and/or soils and an interest in contributing to applied work in environmental/natural resource management. ENVS is a growing, interdivisional department with majors in Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, and Geography. We particularly seek candidates who embrace interdisciplinary, flexibility, and creativity in their work and who can integrate social and environmental justice into their teaching and research. Candidates should explain how they will help build a diverse and inclusive campus community as part of their professional activities, and describe their ideas for innovative and entrepreneurial approaches to the challenges facing higher education. The successful candidate will join a departmental and interdisciplinary community with a wide range of research and teaching interests and will benefit from extensive support for junior faculty, including start-up funding, pre-tenure research leave, funding for student-faculty research collaboration via the Summer Science Research Program and The OWU Connection, and a range of workshops and mentoring programs.
