The School of Government and Public Policy (SGPP), in collaboration with the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, is hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in collaborative governance and environmental policy, to start in August 2023, with a tenure home in the School of Government and Public Policy. The position will contribute to the University of Arizona’s strategic priorities in addressing the existential threats associated with climate change, especially in the context of water availability. The position will also support the University’s mission as a Hispanic-Serving Institution with high Hispanic and Native student populations by providing training and applied research opportunities to our growing and diverse student body. Applications received by November 14 will be fully considered, and we will accept applications until the position is filled. All applicants are welcome to apply, regardless of citizenship.   A significant research/teaching/service theme in SGPP centers on collaborative environmental policy. In addition to a strong research program in environment policy and politics, SGPP offers a graduate certificate in collaborative governance. SGPP also offers numerous undergraduate and graduate courses with both environmental and collaborative policy components.    Likewise, the Udall Center has a rich tradition of research and outreach emphasizing the institutions of collaborative governance, conflict resolution, and stakeholder engagement. The Udall Center’s Environmental Policy Program (EPP) embraces research themes aligned with collaborative governance including climate adaptation, social justice, water security, science diplomacy, food systems and health, energy policy and renewables, and urban resilience, among others.   The School of Government and Public Policy supports Inclusive Excellence. SGPP students come from historically excluded backgrounds and many are first-generation students. The University of Arizona is the first four-year public university in Arizona to be recognized as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). As a land-grant HSI, we are committed to meeting the educational needs of Arizona’s vibrant and diverse communities. Candidates are encouraged to support the University and School’s diversity and inclusiveness efforts, including the support and mentorship of underrepresented students and communities.   Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; sick leave and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; and state and optional retirement plans.
