The ideal candidate would also have further competencies related to managing human impacts on the natural world, environmental assessment, environmental education, experience coaching students on professional development, and experimental research design, as well as experience related to graduate student supervision and advising.

Applicants must have a PhD, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and enthusiasm to teach in diverse settings (large and small undergraduate classes as well as graduate classes) related to the candidate’s areas of expertise. The ability and willingness to work with colleagues constructively is essential. SRES is part of the Faculty of Management, which has a unique commitment to values-based management and interdisciplinary research and learning. Thus, the successful candidate will have opportunities to work with like-minded colleagues in the Rowe School of Business, School of Public Administration, and School of Information Management.
