----------------------------Original message----------------------------
The following posting describes a search we have just opened. Because we are
operating on a tight time table, the description had to go to the University
offices for approval before we all had a chance to read and discuss it. So,
while the description is the description, we have an interest
in someone who can address environmental policy issues, such as
environmental justice, as well as do the technical stuff. We also
have a strong interest in increasing our diversity. While the
description gives course titles, we plan to discuss and possibly
redesign our core offerings once this person is on board.
