We also welcome candidates who bring interdisciplinary perspectives and innovative approaches to understanding and addressing contemporary environmental challenges through the integration of social and biophysical sciences.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop and maintain an active, externally funded, nationally recognized research program on socio-ecological systems of forested landscapes and related human-environment interactions.

• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams in the department, college, and across campus, as well as with Tribal, governmental, non-governmental, community, and industry partners.
• Support departmental, college, and university goals to incorporate diverse perspectives and foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community in the department, college, and university.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• A Ph.D. or equivalent in sociology, psychology, geography, forestry, environmental sciences, natural resources or closely related field, earned by the time of appointment.
• Demonstrated potential to conduct effective research and scholarly work in area of disciplinary expertise.
• Demonstrated potential to effectively teach undergraduate and graduate level courses (online and in-person) in a manner that is consistent with the principles identified in the OSU Quality Teaching Framework.
• Evidence of effective interpersonal and communication skills (written and verbal).
