----------------------------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. -----------------------CUT HERE-------------------------------------- (Please Post) FACULTY POSITION GRADUATE CURRICULUM IN COMMUNITY PLANNING AND AREA DEVELOPMENT UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND POSITION Tenure-track, academic-year position in environmental and land use planning in urban, suburban and rural areas at the Assistant Professor level.
