We especially encourage applications from scholars who study topics such as regulatory and governance issues surrounding public utilities and other critical infrastructure, smart technology, mobility and transportation, sustainable development, or the role of regulation in achieving a sustainable and resilient economy. We welcome scholars employing a variety of methodological approaches.
This position is partially funded by Ohio State's Discovery Themes Initiative, a significant faculty hiring investment in key thematic areas in which the university can build on its culture of academic collaboration to make a global impact. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative interdisciplinary community of scholars in the Sustainable and Resilient Economy (SRE) program (https://discovery.osu.edu/focus-areas/sustainable-economy/) including faculty from Social and Behavioral Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Business, Law, and Engineering. The SRE program seeks to advance sustainability science by developing a more holistic understanding of sustainable and resilient production and consumption systems, human-environment interactions, and innovations in sustainable technologies and governance. Successful applicants will be expected to participate in collaborative teams and interdisciplinary research on sustainability and resilience topics.
The position begins fall 2018. Salary will be commensurate with the candidate’s experience and qualifications. Applicants must have completed or be nearing completion of all Ph.D. degree requirements. Successful candidates will likely have doctorates in public affairs, public policy, public administration, sociology, political science, economics, geography, law, business or a related field.
