Assistant Professor of Sustainable Aquaculture and Coastal Systems The Department of Environmental Science & Policy (ESP) in
the College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences at the
University of California, Davis is recruiting an Assistant
Professor in sustainable aquaculture and coastal systems.
This is an academic year (9-month), tenure-track Assistant
Professor position, resident at Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML).
Candidates must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in
biological/physical/engineering sciences.
As part of UC Davis' commitment to hire leading research faculty
with an outstanding commitment to teaching, research and service
that will promote the success of historically underrepresented and
marginalized student communities and address the needs of our
increasingly diverse state and student population, College of
Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, at the University of
California announces an Assistant Professor faculty position
(9-month in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy,
resident at Bodega Marine Laboratory). This position is part of the
UC Davis "Sustainable Marine Resources Initiative: The Future of
Food from the Sea," coordinated by the Coastal and Marine Sciences
Institute. Applications are encouraged from candidates with a
strong background in any current or emerging area that will fit
within our department's interdisciplinary focus in sustainable
aquaculture and coastal systems.
This is an academic year (9-month), Assistant Professor
tenure-track position with teaching, research, outreach/engagement
and service responsibilities.
As one of the country's leading R1 institutions, UC Davis seeks
candidates with exceptional potential for research, teaching, and
inclusive excellence. In addition, the successful candidate will
demonstrate an understanding of the barriers preventing full
participation of members from historically underrepresented and
marginalized student communities in higher education, such as (but
not limited to) women, underrepresented minorities, individuals
self-identifying as LGBTQIA+, veterans, individuals with
disabilities, economically disadvantaged groups, first-generation,
undocumented students, or students with any intersections in
between. Successful candidates will help advance UC Davis'
strategic goal of improving access and building an inclusive
community for all marginalized populations. The successful
candidate also will have an accomplished track record (calibrated
to career stage) of teaching, research, or service activities
addressing the needs of underrepresented minorities, and a clearly
articulated vision of how their work at UC Davis will continue to
contribute to the University's mission of serving the needs of our
diverse state and student population. Applicants' track record of
engagement and activity related to diversity, equal opportunity,
and inclusion as well as their plans for future engagement will be
a significant part of the overall evaluation of the candidate's
qualifications for a faculty appointment.
Applicants should submit materials via the following website:
https://recruit.ucdavis.edu. The
position will remain open until filled. To ensure consideration,
applications should be received by 5 January 2022. Additional
inquiries can be directed to John Largier (jlargier@ucdavis.edu).
