Position description The Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenure-track position in Impacts of Global Environmental Change at the rank of Assistant Professor to
begin July 1, 2027. This position will bring expertise in a physically-based understanding and scholarship of environmental change and its underlying processes and how environmental change is transforming the lived experiences of communities. This position will address the critical challenge of producing transformative scientific scholarship for societally-relevant understanding and action. We seek scholarship on the
mechanisms and impacts of global environmental change, such as more frequent and severe heatwaves and drought, altered hydrological cycles and water resources, and land-use and land cover change, although other research topics are welcome. We particularly encourage community-engaged research that co-develops research questions and methods with relevant communities, stakeholders, and rights-holders, aligned with the
goals of the search and the mission of our department. This position will add to the department’s existing quantitative strengths in physical geography, contributing to our research and teaching areas in Earth System Science, Critical Environments, and Geospatial Representation. Berkeley Geography has been a center of scholarship on human relationships to the environment for more than a century. The Department of
Geography is committed to addressing the family needs of its faculty, including dual-career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
