Cal Poly Humboldt and the Department of Environmental Studies invites applicants for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in Interdisciplinary Environmental Justice. The preferred candidate views environmental questions through lenses of racial and/or social and environmental justice, has expertise in theories and practices of social change, and experience with public, community-based, or activist learning and pedagogy. The successful candidate would also be willing to participate in department-level leadership activities as they become available. Rank and salary are dependent on the appointee’s qualifications and experience.
An ideal candidate would love teaching and also be interested to step into a leadership position, at some point possibly leading the master’s in Environment and Community program. Research interests that are scholar-activist, decolonial, energy or design justice, and food/farming practices would be strong, but an emphasis on integrating that research in teaching and/or bringing students into that research would be essential.
Application consideration will begin on December 5, 2024.
