Tenure track, nine-month Assistant Professor faculty position specializing in sustainability of natural resources, broadly defined. The incumbent must demonstrate interest or expertise in excellent mentoring of graduate or undergraduate students from at-risk, first-generation or underserved communities in innovative scholarship to advance the sustainable use and management of natural resources.
The successful candidate should have a background in the sustainable use and management of natural resources, for example with a focus on integration of community concerns (e.g. Traditional indigenous life ways), treaty obligations, and contemporary management. We are interested in hiring an individual that uses rigorous, state-of-the-art, disciplinary tools to address the ecological, economic, and cultural issues of sustainability of natural resources to address critical and timely issues such as forest resilience in the face of the urgency of climate change, human influences, integration of traditional ecological knowledge, and environmental justice. The focus of this position is on field-based measurements, but expertise in advanced quantitative methods or data-model linkages are encouraged.
We are seeking candidates trained in ecology and dedicated to applying their skills to develop scholars and leaders in environment and natural resources conservation among at-risk, first generation and/or underserved communities. The incumbent will create a vibrant research program, mentor undergraduates, graduate students and trainees, teach and make meaningful contributions to our department's teaching mission, and engage with natural resource decision-makers. The Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is internationally known for its research, teaching and outreach, and we are eager to welcome a new colleague to work and collaborate with us.
