Faculty Position in Energy and Environment
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) seeks outstanding candidates for a tenure-track faculty position in the field of Energy and Environment, focusing on energy policy and technology. The appointment will begin effective July 1, 2010. The position is nominally at the rank of Assistant Professor, although appointment at a higher level may be considered. Candidates should be capable in quantitative analytic methods via fields such as the social sciences, natural and applied sciences, engineering and other appropriate disciplines and have a demonstrated capacity to work on energy policy issues. We are particularly interested in someone capable of working on issues of energy and climate change mitigation. Possible areas of expertise include scientific analysis and/or modeling of current and future energy pathways (including fossil fuels, nuclear, biofuels, and renewables), energy policy and sustainability, energy and greenhouse gas emissions, energy linkages with air quality or water resource issues, energy conservation, advanced energy management systems, and technological innovation.
The appointment will be in the UCLA Institute of the Environment (www.environment.ucla.edu <https://em.ucla.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.environment.ucla.edu> ), a dynamic and growing interdisciplinary center within UCLA representing faculty in the health sciences, life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, engineering, law and other disciplines. Affiliations with other campus units are possible, and encouraged.
A Ph.D. degree is required for eligibility. A strong commitment to interdisciplinary research is highly desirable, as may be shown by relevant postdoctoral experience and publications. The successful candidate will have demonstrated the ability to secure external funding. Prior engagement in service to increase participation in science or engineering by groups historically under-represented in these fields is also highly desirable.
Please use job number: 2155-0910-01 in all correspondence. Applicants can submit application materials as WORD or PDF files online to energyposition_at_ioe.ucla.edu including a cover letter, curriculum vita, statements of research, teaching and interdisciplinary experience and interests, three exemplary publications, and the names and contact information for four references.
For additional questions about submitting an application, contact Ms. Eileen Sir, Manager of the UCLA Institute of the Environment, at esir_at_ioe.ucla.edu, 310-825-6999. Applications submitted by December 1, 2009 will receive full consideration, as will later applications as time allows. Inquires about the position should be directed to Professor Glen M. MacDonald, Director, UCLA Institute of the Environment, macdonald_at_ioe.ucla.edu. Women and minority applicants are encouraged to apply; UCLA is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of faculty and staff diversity.
