New York University invites applications for two faculty positions in Environmental Studies, created as part of a university-wide initiative in the field.  At least one position will be joint between the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service (tenure home) and the Environmental Studies Program (ESP), housed in NYU’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences; this will specifically emphasize environmental policy.  The other position similarly carries joint responsibilities, between ESP and a NYU school to be determined.  Applicants must have a doctoral degree in a relevant discipline.  This appointment is open as to rank.   

We seek applicants who are enthusiastic about working in a multidisciplinary environment and in an evolving NYU environmental studies community that spans the human and natural sciences.  Candidates should have strong research interests and capacity in one or more substantive areas of relevance for Environmental Studies.  Our priority is to hire individuals who can work collaboratively with colleagues from a broad range of environmental- and policy-related fields. The new faculty members will play a leadership role in Environmental Studies research, teaching (including core courses), and program development.  

The Environmental Studies Program is part of a new, university-wide initiative launched in September 2006.  An interdisciplinary undergraduate major in Environmental Studies is currently in place; a graduate-level program is planned as well.  We anticipate several additional appointments as part of this initiative. 

The Wagner School, which was established in 1938, offers both masters and doctoral degrees.  The School’s nearly 40 full-time faculty members are trained in a wide variety of disciplines, but they share a commitment to addressing issues of public importance in their teaching and research.  They work—both domestically and internationally—on such topics as poverty/social disparities; urban, health and environmental policy; urban economics; international development; and public finance and management.  

Applications will be reviewed upon receipt, beginning December 1, 2007, and continuing until both positions are filled.  Applicants should send a cover letter and curriculum vitae via email to:

In addition, please have three references send letters of recommendation to:
