Associate Director, UIC
Associate Director, Institute for Environmental Science and Policy
The University of Illinois at Chicago invites applications for the position of Associate Director, Institute for Environmental Science and Policy (IESP). IESP is guided by an integrative model which bridges environmental and policy-relevant scholarship in four broadly defined thematic areas: Human-Natural Interactions, the Sustainability of the Urban Environment, Environmental Systems Analysis and Design, and Environmental Policy Analysis. IESP is organized within UIC’s Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and is supported by a dedicated internal Steering Committee and an External Advisory Board with membership drawn from a variety of private and institutional organizations.
The Associate Director identifies, initiates, coordinates, and conducts research on the environment, fosters relationships across the campus and with outside agencies to support the mission of the Institute, develops new interdisciplinary educational programs, and assists the Director in shaping the administrative structures and processes of the Institute. The ideal candidate will have the ability, commitment, and enthusiasm to provide leadership to pursue IESP’s commitment to interdisciplinary environmental scholarship. Candidates must have a distinguished record of achievement and appropriate administrative experience, and evidence of leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills. The position requires a Ph.D. or equivalent in a cognate area of environmental scholarship, and a scholarly record sufficient for appointment in one of the campus’s colleges or other appropriate unit.
Applications must include a description of relevant experience and interest in the position, curriculum vitae, and at least three letters of reference.
