Faculty position, U. of Washington School of Marine and Environmental Affairs

The School of Marine and Environmental Affairs (SMEA) at the University
of Washington (UW) seeks applicants for a 9-month (100% FTE) tenured
faculty position in the area of human dimensions of the environment.
This position will be filled at the rank of Associate or Full Professor
depending on qualifications of the successful candidate.

The School of Marine and Environmental Affairs
(http://www.smea.washinton.edu/) is a center of expertise in human
dimensions of the marine environment within UW's College of the
Environment (http://coenv.washington.edu/). SMEA provides leadership and
training to address contemporary and emerging issues in marine systems
through a masters' curriculum emphasizing human dimensions of global
change in the marine environment.

We seek an individual with demonstrated expertise and ability to develop
a mature research program in human dimensions of the marine environment.

Specialties of interest include social and governance aspects of marine
and coastal ecosystem management and conservation; social drivers and
consequences of marine environmental change; and linkages between
demographic change or shifting values and perceptions and change in the
marine and coastal environment.  Candidates who work in sustainability
science or in coupled human and natural systems contexts are especially
sought.  Ocean change in relation to global climate change is an area of
growing interest at SMEA and in the College of the Environment.
Candidates whose prior work has not had a dominantly marine focus are
also invited to apply.
