Human Geography (2013-16)

The Geography Department seeks to fill one three-year term position beginning in the fall of 2013 in Human Geography at the instructor (ABD) or Assistant Professor (Ph.D.) level.  We seek broadly trained candidates who complement the department’s existing thematic and regional strengths.  In particular, preference will be given to candidates with research and teaching based in the “Global South” and ability to offer thematic courses in one or more of the following areas: medical geography, hazards, nature-society relations, or food systems.  Teaching responsibilities include one regional course per year, thematic electives in the candidate’s areas of expertise, and a senior seminar.  The strongest candidates will be able to strengthen the department’s existing ties with other departments and programs across campus (e.g. Environmental Studies, International Studies, and Global Health).
