Position Summary
|
The School of Architecture and
Planning (SAP) at University at Buffalo
(UB), The State University of New York, invites candidates to apply for the
position of Professor of Empire
Innovation, at the rank of
Associate Professor or Full Professor with tenure in the Department of
Architecture or the Department of Urban and Regional Planning. The selected
candidate will receive support through the SUNY Empire Innovation Program
(EIP), which recognizes exceptional scholars with a proven track record of
externally funded research and offers a generous compensation and start-up
package.
|
We invite applications from
researchers who have exceptional track records in Community Climate Resilience
including the study of: (1) environmental and climate justice, (2) planning and
design innovations aimed at promoting resilience to extreme weather events and
other types of disasters, (3) ways in which biophysical conditions (e.g.,
micro-climates in the built environment) interact with individual and household
level sensitivities (e.g., socio-economic marginalization), and/or (4)
community-level adaptive capacities to reduce risk and promote resilience.
The Professor of Empire
Innovation will complement existing strengths across the SAP which include
expertise in extreme weather vulnerability and governance, energy, water
resources governance, food systems planning, health inequities, the Global
South, transportation infrastructure, building resilience and energy
efficiency, sustainable housing, social justice, environmental design and
community engagement.
This position is part of a
cluster hire that includes additional EIP hires in the Department of Geology
and the Department of Geography in the College of Arts and Science, and the
Department of Civil Structural, and Environmental Engineering in the School of
Engineering and Applied Science, aimed at enhancing research and education in
community resilience. Cluster hiring across the three decanal units is aimed to
coalesce existing strengths and promote research and education and increased
funding in interdisciplinary studies to advance science and engineering in
community resilience. The successful candidate is thus expected to work across
the University to build interdisciplinary approaches to strengthen societal
resilience to natural and climate hazards, linking expertise in resilient
infrastructure engineering, urban planning, communications, and crisis
management.
The Professor of Empire Innovation
will teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, mentor graduate
students, and maintain an active externally funded research program.
We are particularly looking for
candidates who can operate effectively in a diverse community of students and
faculty members and share our core vision of helping all constituents reach
their full potential within a professional culture that values equity,
diversity, and inclusion.

University of
Rhode Island
Social Science,
Diversity & Justice Distinguished Multicultural Postdoctoral Fellow in the
Sociology of Race
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology
at the University of Rhode Island seeks to hire a Distinguished Multicultural
Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2022-2023 academic year. Subject to a favorable
review of teaching and scholarly activities within the first twelve months, the
fellow will transition into a full-time tenure-track position at the level of
Assistant Professor at the end of the first year. We seek a sociologist who
specializes in race/ethnicity, racialization, and/or racial inequality.
This position is part of a Social Science
Diversity & Justice cluster hire and a larger set of coordinated diversity
and inclusion initiatives sponsored by the Provost's office (https://web.uri.edu/provost/files/Agenda-for-Change-2021.Final_.pdf).
The goal of the fellowship
is to support emerging outstanding scholars from historically underrepresented
groups interested in pursuing a tenure-track faculty position. The
cluster hire includes three postdoctoral positions:
-A sociologist
specializing in race/ethnicity studies, racialization, and/or racial inequality
(housed in the Sociology & Anthropology Department)
-An anthropologist
specializing in the Indigenous peoples of the Americas (housed in the Sociology
& Anthropology Department; this position was filled in July 2021)
-A scholar of
crime/criminal justice who addresses race in their research or pedagogy (housed
in the interdisciplinary Criminology and Criminal Justice Program)
We aim to hire a cohort of scholar-teachers
that excel in academic and/or public scholarship and to facilitate mentorship
and professional development towards a tenure-track position. We view
mentorship as a multidimensional and reciprocal process. As such, the three
postdoctoral fellows will be able to form a peer mentoring group, will have
campus offices in the same building, and will have opportunities for
collaboration with faculty in home and other departments, such as Africana
Studies and Gender and Women's Studies. The cluster hire's focus on diversity
and justice relates directly to the goals of the Department of Sociology &
Anthropology, the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program, the College of Arts
& Sciences, and the wider University. For more information, see: https://web.uri.edu/artsci/news/uri-to-hire-three-distinguished-multicultural-postdoctoral-fellows/
The University of Rhode Island is a Land &
Sea-Grant University which sits on/occupies Narragansett land, part of Rhode Island's
long, complicated history of intertwined settlers and Indigenous peoples. Rhode
Island has a deep and rich history of critical freedom struggles borne of the
state's involvement in enslaving African and Indigenous peoples, and subsequent
multi-century civil rights movements. The state is home to vibrant communities
of the African diaspora, with significant populations of people from Cabo
Verde, Liberia, and the Caribbean, Latinx and Indigenous populations from the
Caribbean and Central America, and Southeast Asian populations from Laos and
Cambodia. As the state's flagship university, our students increasingly come
from these diverse communities. The University will be the new home to the
Tomaquag Museum, Rhode Island's only Indigenous museum, expected to open in
2023.
We seek a scholar-teacher who is committed to
the University of Rhode Island's mission as a learner-centered research
university where diversity, fairness, and respect are valued. The ideal
candidate would be adept at engaging and supporting students from a variety of
backgrounds. We strongly encourage applications from individuals who are
under-represented across race, color, religion, national origin, sex,
disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other legally
protected basis.
The postdoctoral fellow would be expected to
teach courses in the sociology of race/ethnicity, advance their research agenda
and contribute to department, college, and university service. The teaching
load during the year of this fellowship is 1:1. The transition to a
tenure-track faculty position will be based on continued interest on the part
of the fellow as well as the potential of the fellow to contribute to the
teaching, scholarship, and service needs and goals of the department as judged
by the departmental faculty and Dean of the College. If the fellow does not
transition to a tenure-track position, the University is committed to providing
a second year of support in the postdoctoral fellowship position.
