Job description

The O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University – Bloomington seeks applicants for an open rank (tenured/advanced tenure-track), faculty position in terrestrial natural or nature-based climate solutions for forest, agricultural and/or wetland ecosystems. These strategies include, but are not limited to, reforestation and avoided deforestation, agricultural practices like cover cropping and biochar amendments, enhanced rock weathering, and/or wetland restoration and conservation. We encourage applications from scholars whose research investigates the physical and/or social factors that determine the potential of these strategies to increase ecosystem carbon uptake and storage, to reduce natural emissions of greenhouse gasses, and/or to enable resilient and adaptive management into the future. Successful applicants may conduct research that spans multiple spatial or temporal scales, and that uses a diverse set of tools and approaches, including field and laboratory measurements, network-enabled synthesis, agent-based and/or ecosystem modeling and forecasting, remote sensing, interviews and surveys, and economic analyses and modeling. 

The successful applicant will also demonstrate their ability to make effective contributions to undergraduate and graduate teaching, and to engage in service to the O’Neill School and Indiana University. Interest in disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborations is strongly supported and encouraged. We are especially interested in applicants with a strong commitment to mentoring, teaching, or outreach to people from diverse backgrounds (including first-generation college students, low-income students, racial and ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ+) and an interest in contributing to the O’Neill School’s programs, curricular offerings, and research portfolio in ways that enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

While the preferred appointment will be at the rank of Associate or Full Professor, advanced Assistant Professors are also encouraged to apply. Candidates will have a Ph.D. and will have established a clear record of publications and external funding in their field. The successful applicant will be expected to maintain a rigorous, nationally or internationally recognized and externally funded research program.
