Environmental Justice Lecturer

Qualifications
Applicants should hold a terminal degree (Ph.D. preferred) and a strong record of excellent EJ-related teaching and/or facilitation. We encourage applicants with training in environmental and/or social science fields. Ideal candidates will have a strong knowledge of EJ scholarship and environmental justice methodologies; skills in GIS or other spatial analysis tools; excellent communication and writing skills; and established connections to EJ movements and organizations.

We seek candidates with work experience from among a range of EJ-related fields and topics. These include environmental health inequities; methodologies for knowledge co-creation and democratizing science; just transitions in economies that affect food, energy and climate systems; the prevention, monitoring, and mitigation of exposure pathways (air, water, or soil) to pollutants that disproportionately affect communities of color at local and transnational scales; and/or climate adaptation and natural resource management approaches that challenge ongoing histories of environmental racism. Of particular interest are candidates with a background working on urban EJ issues that include engaging with green gentrification, building more equitable access to greenspace or other environmental “goods”, responding to histories of redlining and other forms of racialized dispossession, and developing environmental justice approaches and politics to revitalize urban infrastructure.  

Consistent with its obligations under the law, the University will provide reasonable accommodation to any employee with a disability who requires accommodation to perform the essential functions of the job.
