Assistant Professor of Society and Ecosystem Management
This is a tenure-track, nine-month career position in the
Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management,
Division of Society and Environment, and the Agricultural
Experiment Station at the University of California at Berkeley,
available July 1, 2006.
The successful candidate will have field or management
experience and an earned doctoral degree in a relevant field
such as (but not limited to) the social sciences, environmental
studies, or public policy studies. An emphasis on forested
ecosystems or watershed management is preferred but not
required.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop a
nationally-recognized research program on society and ecosystem
management. We are interested in someone whose research is
relevant but not limited to California ecosystems. We hope to
find someone who can analyze California integrated resource
management issues in relation to US and global management
networks and processes. Potential research topics include:
adaptive management; the relationships between management
regimes and stratification of access by ethnicity, class, or
race; relations between science and governance; comparisons of
the social and ecological sustainability of different
management regimes or of integrated resource regimes under
varying social, political, or environmental contexts.
The successful candidate will teach an undergraduate course on
Society and Ecosystem Management, a graduate course in his/her
area of specialization, and share in teaching departmental
lower and upper division undergraduate courses.
The incumbent will work to strengthen the campus-wide group of
faculty at UC Berkeley focusing on integrated natural resource
management, and will engage public communities who are seeking
to improve the equity, adaptability, and effectiveness of
ecological management regimes. Applications must be postmarked
by 1 December, 2005.
Please submit a cover letter (including a statement of how you
view the relationship between society and ecological
management), a curriculum vitae, a writing sample or
representative publication, a statement of current and future
research interests, a statement of teaching experience and/or
goals, and three letters of reference to:
