The Coastal Science and Policy Program (CSP) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) is an interdisciplinary, solution-oriented program focused on coastal resilience; conservation; fisheries and aquaculture; innovation; and justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. We train highly diverse cohorts of rising leaders in coastal sustainability through a two-year MS degree in which each student works one year in a real-world setting with a partner organization to advance a solution; and a PhD designated emphasis. The CSP program is a hub for coastal innovation, hosting the Blue Pioneers Program accelerator and offering the nation’s first Hacking for Oceans course. The program also leads and coordinates research collaborations among academic, government, non-profit and private organizations, including the City of Santa Cruz and the Monterey Area Research Institution's Network for Education (MARINE).The Coastal Science and Policy program at University of California Santa Cruz invites applications for a part-time, fiscal-year

We seek a colleague who will expand the CSP faculty’s interdisciplinary and applied competencies and experience, and thus strengthen mentoring of students seeking a professional master’s degree or the interdisciplinary/applied focus of the PhD designated emphasis.We are especially interested in applicants with interdisciplinary, applied research experience that is implementable in real-world settings; broad multi-cultural and international professional networks; a record of mentoring in an academic environment and/or overseeing student internships; and/or experience teaching at the graduate level.Appointments in the Adjunct Professor series are generally supported by non-State funds.
