Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Yale School of the Environment invites applications for an open-rank, tenure-track or tenured Environmental & Resource Economist, eager to join a vibrant interdisciplinary school of the environment.

The successful candidate will conduct research that advances the field of environmental economics in both disciplinary and interdisciplinary ways. Ideal candidates are scholars with interests in environmental economic policy questions related to forests, land use, biodiversity, conservation, the land use-water nexus, climate change and nature-based solutions, outdoor recreation, or the connection between natural resources and sustainable development. Applicants should demonstrate potential to publish in top disciplinary and interdisciplinary journals while collaborating with other social and natural scientists as well as economists.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic about teaching economics to early-career environmental professionals and scholars studying within the Yale School of the Environment and The Forest School within YSE, whose interests range from forests products to biodiversity, to climate change. There may also be opportunities to teach undergraduate students in the Environmental Studies program. Applicants are expected to have a PhD in economics, applied economics, agricultural economics, or an interdisciplinary PhD with evidence of strong PhD-level economics training or similar.
