Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Yale School of the Environment invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the level of an assistant or associate professor, with research and teaching interests in the broad area of water policy and management.
The successful candidate will conduct research from a social science perspective on the ways water policy and management shape, and are shaped by, issues that could include water accessibility and quality, the protection of ecosystem services, transboundary conflict and cooperation, the water-energy-food nexus, coastal-zone vulnerability, sustainable development, public health, water rights and justice, and climate change. While applicants need not have a sole focus on water policy and management, the position is one with expected teaching and leadership responsibilities within YSE’s curricular specialization on Water Resource Science and Management.
Applicants are expected to have a doctorate in a relevant social science field, which may include anthropology, economics, international relations, law, political science, public administration, sociology, or other relevant field.

The successful applicant will be expected to:
1) teach and mentor students at the PhD, masters and potentially undergraduate levels,
2) develop an internationally recognized research program that involves graduate students,
3) facilitate interdisciplinary research
4) contribute to building an inclusive academic environment.
