Greetings all.
While this is not expressly a posting for a GIS position, knowing how GIS is often the great integrator of disciplines, I thought perhaps some of you might know someone who would be a good fit for our program here. Thank you for taking
a look.
Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies
Purchase College, SUNY invites applications for a tenure-track position in Environmental Studies at the Assistant Professor level, beginning September 1, 2017. We seek a broadly trained environmental scientist
committed to field-based instruction and individualized student mentorship. While the research specialization is flexible, it should
complement those of the current faculty. The most attractive research fields include geology, conservation biology, and
wildlife ecology. With an emphasis on community engagement and environmental sustainability, the College prioritizes hiring scholars who conceptualize
the application of their research within environmental justice and socially conscious contexts.
Excellence in teaching will be expected. Instructional responsibilities include five courses per year, plus supervision of senior projects. The senior project is a college-wide requirement and signature feature of
the college’s curriculum. The selected candidate will develop a diverse suite of courses serving Environmental Studies majors as well as the general student body including introductory and advanced
courses in his/her area of specialization.
The Environmental Studies Board of Study is an engaged academic partner with and resource for communities, non-profits, and agencies addressing environmental issues along Long Island Sound, the Lower Hudson
River, and New York City’s historic Croton Watershed. Opportunities abound for the successful candidate to capitalize on this existing network of local study sites to develop a robust, dynamic, and student-focused research program.
Purchase College is primarily an undergraduate institution located 25 miles north of New York City. The college’s president demonstrated
a dedication to environmental issues and sustainability by joining 151 other U.S. colleges as an original signatory of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment.
