Job Description Summary
Clarkson University’s Department of Humanities and Social Sciences invites applications for an Assistant or Associate Professor of Sociology, Anthropology, or Geography working at the intersection of human health and the environment. Prospective candidates should have a strong research record. At the Associate level, a demonstrated ability to pursue external funding is expected.

Applications from the following health and environment perspectives are especially welcomed: social justice, food, public, rural, reproductive, class/race, and/or global/comparative. The successful candidate will contribute expertise to the university’s MS degree program in Environmental Policy and Governance.
