The Environmental Studies Program and the Department of Government and Legal Studies invite applications for a jointly appointed tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor beginning in the fall of 2016. The successful candidate will demonstrate scholarly achievement and a creative research agenda in the broad area of environmental politics and policy, as well as a strong commitment to teaching at a liberal arts institution. We invite applicants whose work specializes in some aspect of American politics, comparative politics, or international relations, or that ranges across multiple subfields.
