Assistant/Associate Professor | Environmental Sciences and Sustainable
Development |
|
|
|
|
|
Chartered as a liberal arts college in 1962,
the American University of Paris is today an urban, independent,
international university located at the confluence of France,
Europe, and the world. We aim to provide the finest American
undergraduate and graduate programs to students from all national,
linguistic, and educational backgrounds, and to take our place as a
renowned global center for innovative interdisciplinary research.
Ours is an academic culture of engagement,
global citizenship, and community that fosters in students and
faculty alike a critical sense of commitment to and responsibility
for a world of interdependence. In the multilingual, multicultural
learning environment of The American University of Paris, students
develop a capacity for ethical and political judgment that is alert
to cultural diversity. In the living laboratory that is Paris, in
the exceptional space of the AUP classroom, students and faculty of
100 different nationalities meet to articulate civic values and
negotiate difference, as together they question, reflect upon, and
work toward creative solutions to real-world challenges.
With an eye to building two signature
interdisciplinary programs—an undergraduate program in “Science,
Technology and Society,” and a new Master’s program in Sustainable
Development Practice—AUP currently invites applications for a
position at assistant or associate professor rank, beginning fall
2010, in the Science Department.
You will have the opportunity to create a new
undergraduate program, drawing upon new pedagogies of science
teaching, as well as to contribute actively—with a group of
colleagues from different disciplines--to the development of the new
Master’s program. You will be called upon to develop and teach at
both levels courses in several aspects of environmental science,
e.g. climate change, energy, water, sustainability, as well as those
of your own devising. You will take part in departmental curricular
development and renewal, student advising, and university service.
You will work with student activist groups on campus to build an
increasingly green environment, as well as environmental awareness
at AUP.
To succeed in this role you will need to hold a
Ph.D. in a natural science and demonstrate the potential for
high-quality, innovative, interdisciplinary research at the
international level. You will need to love teaching, and be able to
demonstrate a record of successfully having done so as a graduate
student or ranked professor. You will receive special attention if
you speak fluent French and hold European Union working papers
(although neither is a requirement for the job), have experience in
policy formation or environmental activism, and show evidence of
strong moral commitment to global sustainability.
If this sounds like the job for you, kindly
submit:
· A letter of interest demonstrating a
commitment to academic excellence and active learning in a diverse
liberal arts environment
· A statement of teaching philosophy, including
your areas of teaching interests and experience
· A statement of research interests and
experience
· A curriculum vitae
· Two letters of recommendation, and contact
information of two additional referees who may be contacted if the
application is shortlisted.
Applications must be sent by email to:
sc-search@aup.fr
Review of applications will begin November 15,
2009 and continue until the position is filled.
