ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS AND POLICY

The Board of Environmental Studies at the University of California, Santa
Cruz invites applicants for a full-time junior faculty position in the area
of environmental politics and policy. The Board is an interdisciplinary
program that includes both social and natural scientists.  Current social
science faculty come from economics, political science, and geography; the
represented natural sciences include conservation and wildlife biology,
restoration ecology, and agroecology. Teaching and research within the
program span a range of basic and applied areas of study, including
agriculture, conservation of biodiversity, regional analysis and
development, and related issues of political economy and public policy. The
Board has recently initiated a Ph.D. program in environmental studies.

The successful candidate will take an active role in Board activities,
including undergraduate and graduate curriculum development, and securing
extramural support. The candidate will teach or team-teach disciplinary and
interdisciplinary courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, which
might include research design and methods covering a range of research
epistemologies and technologies (including GIS). The candidate will have
interdisciplinary training in social science theory and methods. Preference
will be given to applicants with demonstrated teaching and research
expertise in areas that might include:

1) Environmental policy analysis, particularly focusing on comparative
national or sub-national public policy;

2) U.S. environmental movements and political behavior, and their
relationship to cultural change and policy formation, especially with
reference to grassroots environmentalism; 

3) The political dimensions of common pool resource management, with
particular reference to biodiversity conservation and sustainable
management of agriculture, forests, or fisheries
