The Division of Earth and Climate Sciences (ECS) in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University invites applicants for a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor in Planetary Health.

ECS seeks to hire an Earth Scientist whose research focuses on physical and/or chemical earth surface processes, and the intersection between these processes and human wellbeing and ecosystem health. We seek an innovative scholar who will develop a thriving research program using geoscience methods to elucidate environmental threats, such as landslides, flooding, water quality and availability, sea level rise, degradation of the cryosphere, and other geohazards or environmental issues exacerbated by climate change and changing land use. Work that explores impacts on marginalized communities in the US and developing countries is desirable. Faculty within ECS benefit from close interdisciplinary collaboration with social science, health science, and environmental science faculty within the Nicholas School and other schools at Duke.

Duke University is a world class research institution that prides itself on interdisciplinary scholarship, teaching and service. Science, policy, and solutions-oriented collaborations with programs outside of the Nicholas School including Engineering, Public Policy or Medicine are encouraged.

Teaching Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching a portfolio of fundamental and application/field geoscience courses each academic year, totaling to the equivalent of 2.5 semester-long courses, and advising PhD students, Master's Projects by students in NSOE's Master of Environmental Management (MEM), and undergraduate students.

Location: The position will be located on the main campus of Duke University, fostering direct interactions between the faculty and students. Duke University also maintains the Duke Forest research forest as well as the Duke University Marine Lab.

To achieve these goals, it is essential that all members of the community feel valued and welcome, that the contributions of all individuals are respected, and that all voices are heard.
