Forests in the Earth System: The University of Arizona seeks to fill a faculty position in areas related to forests in the Earth System who will contribute to the vigorous interdisciplinary environmental programs on our campus. The successful candidate will likely be appointed at the Associate Professor level, although appointment at Assistant Professor may be possible for a more junior candidate with a very strong record of scholarly publication. We seek a quantitative scientist whose research addresses the interactions of climate, wildfire, forest growth and carbon dynamics, or a subset of these topics. The successful candidate will bring strong modeling and spatiotemporal analysis skills to complement existing strengths at UA in fire sciences, dendrochronology, paleoclimatology, the carbon cycle, remote sensing and tree and forest growth. They will demonstrate a record of exceptional research that complements and advances UA’s strengths in environmental change science. We are especially interested in individuals whose research utilizes dendrochronology in novel and effective combination with other tools and methods to address basic or applied questions on these topics, particularly the scaling of understanding from landscape to global spatial scales. UA is home to one of the largest and broadest concentrations of earth system research and education in the US, with world-class programs in fields including hydrology, paleoclimatology, ecosystem science, earth sciences, arid lands, environmental engineering and climate applications. This position is part of a new Environmental Initiative that will bring more than 15 new faculty to the UA campus in the next 1-2 years.

What does it mean to live a life of meaning and purpose? What does it mean to understand and appreciate the natural world? And what does it means to forge a more just society for the common good? The sections taught by Biology or Chemistry faculty will emphasize what the discipline of Biology or Chemistry can contribute to the discussion of these questions. For more information about the core curriculum, visit our website at SHU Mission and Catholic Identity. Qualifications: A doctorate in an environmental field is required. Teaching and post-doctoral experience are highly desirable. Candidates are expected to develop a research program appropriate for the participation of graduate and undergraduate students that has the potential for attracting external funding.
