<p>Rowan University's newly launched <strong>Catalysts for
Sustainability</strong> program seeks to hire ten new faculty to
develop, advance, and communicate solutions to humanity's most
pressing existential threats posed by the climate and biodiversity
crises. The university-wide cohort will lead and collaborate
across colleges, disciplines, and communities, catalyzing new
initiatives in sustainability research, advocacy, and education
while leveraging existing strengths. This project builds upon
Rowan University's strategic pillars (access, affordability,
quality, and serving as an economic engine) and furthers our
commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Successful
candidates will demonstrate expertise related to the climate and
biodiversity crises in one or more of the following areas:
environmental justice; education and public engagement including
storytelling; public policy and advocacy; discipline-specific
sustainability scholarship; and sustainability practice. A
complete list of all ten openings can be found here: <a href="https://jobs.rowan.edu/en-us/job/495871/rowan-catalysts-for-sustainability" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://jobs.rowan.edu/en-us/job/495871/rowan-catalysts-for-sustainability</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As part of this search, the <strong>College of Science and
Mathematics (CSM)</strong> invites applications for a <strong>tenure-track/tenured
position at the level of assistant or associate professor in the
field of modeling that addresses climate change, its impacts,
and mitigation and adaptation strategies</strong>.
Interdisciplinary scholars with expertise in biodiversity, climate
science, oceanography and meteorology, material science,
artificial intelligence and machine learning, epidemiology, or
human-behavioral strategies for effecting climate change action
are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be
appointed to an appropriate home CSM department (Biological
Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Computer Science,
Mathematics, Molecular & Cellular Biosciences, Physics &
Astronomy, or Psychology), with the possibility of a joint
appointment in other departments in CSM or across Rowan.
Preference will be given to candidates with expertise building on
or complementing existing strengths. Our new colleague will have
the opportunity to contribute to the development of the nascent
interdisciplinary scientific computing facility, housed at CSM,
new degree programs in Data Science, and other innovative
initiatives bridging modeling and applications. Candidates from
underrepresented groups, who can contribute to our commitment to a
supportive environment for students, faculty, and staff of all
backgrounds, are especially encouraged to apply.</p>
