Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor of Environmental Studies | Wellesley College - Military Veterans

The Department of Environmental Studies at Wellesley College seeks an assistant, associate, or full professor whose research and teaching focus on structural environmental injustices, as well as interventions to advance environmental justice. Priority will be given to candidates with training in the social sciences. We are especially interested in candidates whose research employs quantitative and/or geographic information systems analysis. The teaching load is four courses per year, including a core course on environmental justice to be developed by the successful candidate.

Our Environmental Studies Department aims to cultivate values, skills, and experiences that equip students with both confidence and empathy as they prepare to tackle pressing environmental issues as scholars, scientists, activists, health care workers, policymakers, planners, artists, storytellers, and more. Wellesley attracts a diverse population of students (64% of the class of 2027 identify as students of color from the United States, and 23% are first-generation college students). We seek a colleague who will be eager to join us in the aim of promoting inclusive excellence and a sense of belonging in our classes, research teams, and community programs. Members of underrepresented groups and women are strongly encouraged to apply.
