[Employment] Emplooyment - Assistant Professor in Ecotoxicology

[Doris Bleecher]

The Donald Bren School of Environmental Science & Management
(www.bren.ucsb.edu) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant
Professor position, to start July 1, 2008. We seek a scientist in
ecotoxicology whose work is clearly relevant for environmental policy or
management. Applicants should possess a Ph.D. or have completed all
requirements for the degree by the appointment date.

 

The successful candidate will have interests in investigating the effects of
chemical stressors on organisms in the context of ecological systems and in
applying scientific research to issues of environmental management. We seek
a person with a strong background and experience in empirically studying
interaction mechanisms between stressors and organisms using innovative
methods in molecular biology, chemistry and ecology. The ability to teach
both advanced courses for Ph.D. students and courses on ecological effects
of pollutants and ecological risk assessment for professional masters-level
students is desirable. The candidate will be expected to carry out an
outstanding research program and to mentor Ph.D. and Masters students.
Preference will be given to candidates whose existing or emerging research
is complementary with existing areas of emphasis within the school,
including corporate environmental management, ecological sustainability,
environmental economics, governance for sustainable development, and
sustainable management of water resources.

 

The Bren School is a graduate school providing rigorous, multi-disciplinary
training in environmental science and management to Masters and Ph.D.
students. The faculty is drawn from the natural sciences, engineering,
social sciences, and management.
