The Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) at the University of California, Berkeley is recruiting for a tenure-track or tenured academic year position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the area of Race, Culture, and Environment. The successful applicant's expected start date is July 1, 2016. Specifically, we seek applicants whose research and teaching address the relationships between racialized social and political differentiation and access to or control of the environment or resources. We are particularly interested in a social scientist focused on issues of race, culture, class, and/or social inequities (including gender difference) as these relate to environmental change, management, and access to natural, agrarian, and urban resources and land. We seek applicants who are excited about contributing to UC Berkeley’s land grant mission, ESPM’s commitment to multi-disciplinary problem solving, and working with scholars across other social sciences and the humanities, as well as those based in the natural or physical sciences. Research should focus on either the US or international contexts, but teaching should address empirical and theoretical applications for both, treating the US as one of many global sites of differentiation. The successful applicant will be expected to develop a nationally recognized research program on some dimension of race, culture, society, and environmental relations, including, but not limited to, the entanglements of poverty, class, and race relations as they influence, produce, and intertwine with the key environmental challenges we face (e.g., climate change, food security, land and natural resource access). The successful candidate will teach an undergraduate core course on Race, Culture, and Environment, and a graduate course in his/her area of specialization. S/he will also share in teaching other required interdisciplinary graduate and undergraduate courses. Applicants will have or be working towards a doctoral degree or equivalent in the social sciences or humanities, or from an appropriate interdisciplinary program, such as environmental, natural resource, ethnic, race and gender, indigenous, legal, or urban studies. At a minimum, applicants must have completed all Ph.D. or equivalent degree requirements except the dissertation at the time of application. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree by the appointment start date. We are interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and service. Women and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply. Applications will be accepted through December 22, 2015.

The College of Design’s Department of Landscape Architecture and School of Architecture at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, are seeking a new faculty member at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level for a joint appointment in the emerging field of Resilient City Design. We define urban resilience as the ability for cities to develop adaptive approaches to social and environmental conditions that are complex and continually changing, including but not limited to: population growth, shifting urban demographics, water scarcity, food insecurity, social injustice and poverty, economic and health disparities, finite resources, and climate change. We see the fields of Landscape Architecture and Architecture as central to the project of fostering resilient responses to these challenges.
We seek to attract an energetic and collaborative faculty member whose creative and/or scholarly work contributes in significant ways to the creation of resilient urban futures. The successful candidate’s skills and interests will extend and contribute to coalescing extant strengths within the College of Design, the University of Minnesota, and the larger region. Evidence of the capacity to work at a range of environmental scales in multidisciplinary teams is important to our ambitions for this position. We will consider a wide range of approaches to filling it, however the successful candidate will have a strong understanding of education, research and/or practice in architecture and landscape architecture.
This is a 100% time, academic year (9 month) position, suitable for individuals whose education and experience qualify them for a tenured or tenure-track appointment, preferably in both departments. An advanced degree in Landscape Architecture or Architecture, or in a closely related field such as Urban or Environmental Design, is required for this position. At least one accredited degree in Landscape Architecture is preferred. Faculty rank is contingent on the qualifications and experience of the candidate. For tenure upon hire, candidates must possess a record of academic achievement in teaching, scholarly productivity and service that satisfies the University’s criteria for holding an appointment with indefinite tenure. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. Expected start date is August 31, 2015.
Possible profiles of successful applicants for this position might be: a M. Arch or MLA with the ability to lead design studios and public projects; a Ph. D. with the ability to lead interdisciplinary research teams, develop a strong publication record, and participate in studio teaching; or other relevant credentials. We hope this hire will add to the diversity and multicultural competencies of our faculty. The insights and experiences of historically underrepresented groups, in the university and the communities where we work, are critical to shaping urban futures characterized by resiliency.
The successful candidate will teach design studios in the MLA and/or M. Arch programs. Courses in environmental design, technology, or graphic representation are among the many possible undergraduate offerings that can be negotiated. The candidate will advise graduate students, including on their capstone and final projects; develop peer reviewed research and scholarship or, for those oriented toward professional activity, assume a leadership role in advancing sustainability within practice. The capacity to garner external funding and engage a wide range of stakeholders beyond the university are desirable.
UMN offers great locational advantages in our quest to become a center of excellence in the emerging area of urban resilience. Set between two urban centers astride the Mississippi, one of the world’s largest watersheds, the University of Minnesota has a wealth of resilience-related centers and institutes. The College of Design, alone, features significant opportunities for collaborative research via the Center for Sustainable Building Research, a major federal and state research center addressing sustainability issues in the built environment, and the Metropolitan Design Center. The UMN Resilient Cities Project addresses the sustainability needs of communities through projects in undergraduate and graduate courses. The larger university has major resources to support cross-disciplinary collaborations in this field of work, including the Center for Transportation Studies, Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, and Institute on the Environment.
