Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies, Lewis & Clark College[]

Located in Portland, Oregon, Lewis & Clark College is a small liberal arts college with 2,100 undergraduates. We invite applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in the Environmental Studies Program, beginning Fall, 2024. The Environmental Studies Program at Lewis & Clark prides itself on a nationally recognized approach blending critical foundations, curricular innovation, and intellectual inclusivity, drawing upon contributions from over a dozen campus departments spanning the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. We seek candidates whose background and scholarship resonate with this broad, cutting-edge approach to environmental studies and who are adept at situating issues of environment in multiple scales of space and time. Candidates must be able to deploy quantitative methodologies, such as spatial analysis, or hybrid quantitative and qualitative methodologies as a model to students of our data-intensive approach.

We invite applicants who wish to become excellent teachers and scholars at an undergraduate institution and whose varied experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds can contribute to a diverse and inclusive community of critical thinkers. Areas of interdisciplinary research are open, and might include environmental justice, natural resource management, urban planning, or agricultural systems as examples. A PhD. in environmental studies or sciences, geography, or a related field is required at the time of appointment as a tenure-track member of the faculty. The usual teaching load is five courses per academic year. The position will entail regular teaching in the ENVS core curriculum, especially ENVS 295 (Environmental Engagement), a course foregrounding inclusivity in which students work with community partner organizations committed to engaging across difference, especially via dialogic models of communication. Teaching would also potentially include an ENVS elective related to the applicant’s scholarship, and participation in the College’s general education program. Faculty also advise and mentor students with varied backgrounds from across the US and around the globe. The college provides a paid pre-tenure junior sabbatical, mentoring, and professional development support.

Applications should include: (1) a curriculum vitae; (2) a letter of application which includes a summary of teaching experience and research interests that foregrounds (a) experience with quantitative or hybrid quantitative and qualitative methodologies; (b) evidence of interdisciplinary interests or collaborations; (c) openness to engagement across difference; and (d) a description of how the applicant’s teaching, scholarship, and/or work in the campus community will contribute to our culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion; (3) a statement of teaching philosophy and evidence of teaching effectiveness; (4) one or more samples of scholarship (i.e., published articles or books and/or works in progress); (5) three letters of recommendation (uploaded separately by referees), with at least one assessing the candidate’s teaching quality; and (6) graduate transcripts evidencing course preparation.

Materials should be addressed to Prof. Elizabeth Safran, Director, Environmental Studies Program, and must be submitted via Interfolio https://apply.interfolio.com/127687. Review of applications will begin on September 20, 2023, and continue until the position is filled. Lewis & Clark College will conduct a background check at the time an offer is made.

[2/12] Did anyone else apply to the Cal Poly Humboldt position?

  • [2/13] Rejection email on Jan 29th
  • Wow, for the Interdisciplinary EJ position due on 1/21? That seems like an insanely fast turnaround time. I haven't heard anything yet [2/13]. The solicitation has been removed from the Cal Poly job board and HigherEd Jobs though, so I wonder if they decided not to go through with the search?
    • [2/13] I thought it was fast as well. Maybe you're still in the running - I would be happy to see someone from this board snag one of these job :)
  • Invitation to zoom interview [2/6] zoom interviews scheduled for second week of Feb.

Williams College - VAP of Global Environmental Studies. "We will begin reviewing applications on 5 February 2024 and will continue until the position is filled".

  • [2/8] The application is already not editable and not withdrawable on Interfolio. The position is still listed on their webpage, but clicking on the Interfolio link to apply informs applicants that "The application deadline for this position has passed", so no new applications are being accepted.
  • [3/5] Invitation to a Zoom interview

Anyone apply to TCU's Asst Prof of Sustainability TT job? (due 1/8)? Any word?

Did anyone apply for the UW La Crosse job (due 12/4)?

  • [1/24] Applied, have no news
  • [1/24] Had a prelim interview a few weeks back, but no news since

  • [answering my own question] Rejection email received 12/13.

Any word From Carnegie Mellon?(due 11/06) ^ nothing here 11/15

  • nothing here 11/17- but my application isn't editable or withdraw-able so thats not the best sign,
  • Nothing here 11/21 (Carnegie Mellon); mine is also non-editable, not withdrawable, I also see that as a discouraging sign
  • Same 11/22 (Carnegie Mellon); I am curious why this is a bad sign? R: (Based only on my own experience) I've never been invited to an interview after the options of editing and withdrawing have been removed. My guess is that when I can no longer withdraw it is because they made that decision for me by removing me from consideration, and when I can no longer edit the application it is because nothing that I can say or add will change the fact that I've already been rejected. - Thanks for taking the time to answer. That makes sense.
