Faculty Positions: Assistant/Associate/Full Professor

The UCI Environment Institute: Global Change, Energy and Sustainable Resources is recruiting faculty at the level of Assistant (tenure track) to Full (tenured) Professor. These positions represent part of the initial allocation of eight faculty to be affiliated with the Institute and participate in its planning. These faculty will teach and maintain research labs in their primary departments within the School of Biological Sciences, School of Physical Sciences, or Henry Samueli School of Engineering. Future recruitments may involve additional Schools. UC Irvine seeks to build on its strengths in environmental research and develop broad, campus-wide collaborations that relate global change, energy, and sustainable resources to societal needs. This recruitment addresses the areas of interest listed below.
 
  • Global change and human impacts on biological and physical systems: e.g., biodiversity; ecosystem processes and modeling; ecophysiology; ecohydrology; coastal processes; climate change; resource management.
  • Energy and changes in utilization of energy: e.g., innovative materials for generation and storage; renewables, including wave and wind; biofuels; nuclear fusion; waste management.
  • Sustainable resources for the near future: e.g., water availability; clean air and clean water; green building/city design; transportation: waste systems; industrial ecology; life-cycle analysis.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. plus post-doctoral experience related to the environment, global change, energy, or sustainable resources. UC Irvine faculty teach at undergraduate and graduate levels, maintain an externally funded research program, and direct graduate research. Candidates will present a research seminar within their host department plus a campus-wide forum relating their research to issues at the interfaces of science, technology, and/or society. 
 
Applications (CV, statement of research interest, contact information for three references, and three recent publications) should be submitted to the UC Irvine recruitment system at https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/apply/. Selection will begin 12 January 2009 and remain open until the positions are filled.  Related faculty positions are available within the Henry Samueli School of Engineering, School of Biological Sciences and School of Physical Sciences.
