A staff/technical position with The Nature Conservancy just opened up. Check it out at: https://careers.nature.org/psp/tnccareers/APPLICANT/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_CE.GBL?SiteId=1

Forest & Range Soils and Forest Disturbance Ecology: Two positions in the Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences (NRES) Department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California: (1) Assistant/Associate Professor of Forest & Range Soils: Full-time, academic year, tenure track Assistant/Associate Professor. Beginning date is 1-5-2015 but no later than 9-14-2015. This position is a full-time teaching appointment with expectations for professional development through research or project work. The successful candidate will teach courses in forest and range soils, soil morphology and classification, introductory soil science, and additional related courses (e.g. soil mapping, soil judging, soil and water conservation) depending on curricular needs and the candidate's expertise and personal professional goals. Particular expertise is desired in nutrient cycling, fire effects, erosion and mass movement, soil-geologic relations, and forest and range management practices. Duties may also include, but are not limited to, supervision of undergraduate senior projects, graduate student research, student advising, and teaching graduate level courses. Cal Poly has a tradition of excellence in teaching, and our motto is, "Learn by Doing". In this vein, strong interest in undergraduate and graduate teaching along with excellent written and oral communication skills are required. In addition to teaching, the successful candidate is expected to link research and practice, and to participate in scholarly activities (e.g., research, publishing, grant writing) as part of his or her professional development and contribution to the University's mission. These activities must address societal needs and include opportunities and challenges that face practicing soil scientists and managers working in forest, range, and wildland ecosystems. Doctorate degree in soil science or related field by the starting date required, with one degree in forestry preferred. Special consideration will be given to candidates with a record of excellence in teaching and research (commensurate with time since degree), as well as ability to mentor undergraduate and graduate students. (2) Assistant/Associate Professor of Forest Disturbance Ecology: Full-time, academic-year, tenure track Assistant/Associate Professor. Start date of January 5, 2015 (possibility of September 14, 2015). This position is a full-time teaching appointment with expectations for professional development through research and collaboration. The ideal candidate will possess broad expertise in areas of forest health, disturbance ecology, silviculture, and forest management. Primary area of specialization must be in forest pathology and entomology, but additional areas of expertise may include: disease-insect-plant relationships in forested ecosystems, disturbance interactions between outbreaks and wildland fire, and silvicultural treatment to address forest health and restoration. Teaching and research should address current and emerging threats to forest ecosystem health, including climate change and large-scale disturbance. The successful candidate will primarily teach undergraduate and graduate courses in forest health, dendrology, and fire ecology. Dependent on area of expertise, other teaching opportunities may include: silviculture, wood products, ecology, ecosystem management, and courses to support our Wildland Fire & Fuels Management program. He/she will advise and involve undergraduate and graduate students in hands-on-learning activities and research. The successful candidate is expected to participate in scholarly activities (i.e., research, publishing, grant writing) in collaboration with related disciplines. Additional expectations include supervision of graduate students, senior project students, and team teaching assignments, student advising, teaching graduate level courses and/or in a Master of Professional Studies or certificate program. Excellent written and oral communication skills and strong interests in undergraduate and graduate teaching are required. Doctorate degree in Forestry, Plant Pathology & Entomology, Ecology (with forest disturbance specialization), or related field by the starting date required, with one degree in forestry preferred. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in forest management and with a record of excellence in teaching and research (commensurate with time since degree), as well as ability to mentor undergraduate and graduate students. See the links above to apply. Review date: 9/15/14.
