VISITING ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

The Institute at Brown for Environment and Society (IBES) invites applications for a

Visiting Assistant Professor with expertise in Human Geography or Physical Geography,

doing research relevant to questions of environmental justice, and an interest in working

to promote diversity within environmental disciplines. This is a three-year position with

potential for renewal based on performance. The position involves three distinct roles: (1)

conducting a varied portfolio of teaching activities, including undergraduate geography

courses, student advising and senior thesis mentoring; (2) designing and implementing a

summer program for undergraduates that promotes diversity in environmental studies and

sciences; and (3) conducting research and publishing in relevant fields. It is expected that

the course load will be around 2 courses per academic year, depending on advising load,

and may include courses that contribute to a new Environment and Inequality Track

offered by the IBES undergraduate program. Because of the summer programming, this

position is paid a full 12 months per year and salary support from grants and contracts is

not required. The successful applicant may act as a Principal Investigator on proposals.

Applicants are sought with expertise within any subfield of Geography with relevance to

the environment and environmental justice. We are particularly interested in candidates

with demonstrated excellence or potential in teaching; those with experience working

collaboratively across disciplines; and those who have engaged in activities promoting

diversity. Applicants must have a Ph.D. at the time of commencing work. The start date

can be July 1 or Sept. 1, 2017 or Jan 1, 2018. All candidates should submit: (1) a teaching

statement, (2) a research statement, (3) a curriculum vitae, (4) a cover letter describing

their interest in the position, and if available (5) copies of teaching evaluations and course

syllabi. Candidates should have three letters of reference sent at the time of the

application. Full consideration will be given to applications received by March 15, 2017;

we will continue to accept applications until the position is filled. Send materials to:
