Position description
The Department of Environmental Science and Policy in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Davis is recruiting an Assistant Professor of Ecosystem Conservation with an emphasis on conceptual innovation and field-based ecological approaches. This is an academic year (9-month), tenure track Assistant Professor position that includes an appointment in the California Agricultural Experiment Station (AES). Faculty members who hold an Agricultural Experiment Station appointment have a responsibility to conduct research and outreach relevant to the mission of the California Agricultural Experiment Station. Participation in outreach programs and performance of university service are also expected.
The appointee is expected to establish a competitively funded research program in field-based conservation ecology to address critical emerging issues in the science of conserving biodiversity and/or restoring ecosystems. Modern conservation requires innovative approaches that address rapid climate-driven change, social goals including equity and justice, and critical linkages between local and global-scale processes. We seek a person whose field-based research on these challenges engages stakeholders and supports the development of practical solutions. An ideal candidate would address multiple species and/or multiple ecosystem elements (e.g., human, biological, physical) and might collaborate with social scientists. Examples of research areas could include climate change adaptation and mitigation; management of lands for ecosystem services; biodiversity conservation in human-modified environments; and restoration of ecosystem resilience.
The appointee will be responsible for teaching ESP170, Conservation Ecology Policy; ESP123, Ecological Field Methods; and the current course load of 2.5 courses per year on a quarter system. The successful candidate will be active in graduate teaching and advising in one or more graduate groups, undergraduate student mentoring, and curricular development. Participation in and development of public outreach and/or community engagement programs, and performance of departmental and university service are expected. This position is expected to collaborate with Cooperative Extension specialists and advisors and with appropriate public stakeholders.
This recruitment is conducted at the assistant rank. The resulting hire will be at the assistant rank, regardless of the proposed appointee's qualifications.
Initial review of applications will be conducted using anonymized versions of the Statement of Research Accomplishments and Interests and the Statement of Contributions to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Applications demonstrating sufficient potential based on this review will be advanced to full review.
The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in university programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation.
