[Sasnet] Job: Sustainability

[Timothy Scarlett]

Hello everyone,
Please help to distribute this announcement as possible.  Michigan  
Tech just announced its intent to hire ten faculty positions united  
in the theme of sustainability.  While many of these positions are  
intended to add faculty in engineering, particularly three of the  
endowed chairs, the Department of Social Sciences will promote  
excellent candidates with demonstrated multi-disciplinary research  
exploring the theme of sustainability.  The positions are not  
designated for archaeology or our department, but we hope to support  
candidates that could articulate with our graduate programs: Ph.D.  
program in Industrial Heritage and Archaeology, MS in Environmental  
Policy, and MS in Industrial History and Archaeology.

Michigan Technological University Sustainability Faculty Hiring  
Initiative

Michigan Technological University announces a Sustainability faculty  
hiring initiative that will
add ten tenure-track positions, open in rank, during the next year.   
These include three endowed
chairs:
– the Robbins Chair in Sustainable Management of the Environment;
– the Robbins Chair in Sustainable Manufacturing and Design; and
– the Robbins Chair in Sustainable Use of Materials.
Faculty selected for the Robbins chairs will be leaders in their  
fields and have strong research
experience, both within their home and other institutions. Successful  
candidates for the
remaining positions will have outstanding records in their field for  
respective stages in their
careers. They will be expected to develop active research programs  
and to collaborate in multi-
disciplinary research, education, and outreach efforts.

Sustainability underpins scholarship on a university-wide scale at  
Michigan Technological
University.  Faculty from areas such as engineering, forestry,  
humanities, business, and the
natural and social sciences are actively involved in multi- 
disciplinary research and education.
We develop processes, policies, technologies, and materials that  
promote sustainable use of
natural resources, sustainable energy sources and consumption,  
sustainable enterprises and
communities, and access to clean air and water in both the developed  
and developing worlds.

We seek applications and nominations for these ten positions. We  
intend to develop a diverse
applicant pool from a wide range of disciplines related to this  
strategic initiative. Applications
received by November 15, 2007 will receive first consideration, but  
applications will be
considered until all positions are filled. Attractive salary, benefit  
and start-up packages will be
provided for successful applicants.

doctoral research university.
