Open-rank Faculty Position in Sustainable Development Economics
School for Environment and Sustainability
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

We invite applicants for a full-time, nine-month, tenure-track, open-rank faculty position in Sustainable Development Economics. We seek a candidate whose teaching and research interests focus on development economics and policy analysis, with an emphasis on environment and/or sustainability. The candidate will primarily support teaching and advising in the Sustainability and Development Specialization at SEAS which has core foci in the areas of poverty and inequality analytics, governance and institutions, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programs, and transformation science. Importantly, we seek candidates who have interest in and commitment to using applied development economics and policy research designs and methods to contribute to solving real-world environment and sustainability challenges.

Priority will be given to applicants whose research programs complement or align with one or more current research strengths in SEAS (e.g., geospatial science, food systems, environmental justice, sustainable systems), or who can contribute to further developing cross-unit areas of inquiry and collaboration including global health equity, urban sustainability, decarbonization, demographic transitions, and nature-based solutions.
