Stanford University Postdoctoral fellowship: Cultures of Nature in the American West

Application Deadline: April 1, 2010

The Environmental Humanities Project, in collaboration with the Woods Institute for the Environment

and the Bill Lane Center for the American West at Stanford University , seeks applicants for a postdoctoral fellowship focusing on cultures of nature in the American West. Applicants' research should focus on how cultures shape conceptions of nature, the natural, species boundaries, uses of plants and animals and natural resources, the human body in its environmental dimensions, or environmental health and illness; how cultures of nature form and dissolve; how cultures map nature, literally and metaphorically; how cultures of nature rooted in particular places develop dimensions beyond that place (e.g. in the virtual realm); and what practical differences such cultures make for human uses of the environment and in shaping nature.

The postdoctoral fellow will be a leader in the Environmental Humanities Project, a new initiative at Stanford designed to develop an interdisciplinary community across departments, programs and research areas in the Humanities involving environmental issues.

This community will also seek to build bridges to the social and natural sciences.

Fellows should be committed to this goal and will be expected to participate actively in building such a community. In addition, they will teach one class and participate in workshops and seminars. The appointment is for one year but may be renewed for an additional year. Applicants must have their doctoral degree in hand 30 days prior to the appointment start date.

The concept of "cultures of nature" is conceived broadly to include indigenous, ethnic, class-based, local, professional formations and subcultures. The American West is understood as the United States west of the Mississippi , western Canada , Mexico , and their interfaces with the Pacific region. We welcome applicants from anthropology, history, literary and cultural studies, political science, sociology and urban studies, as well as candidates from the natural sciences with a strong interest in multidisciplinary methods and the humanities . We particularly encourage applicants who are interested in working with a variety of sources, including data, maps, images, and multimedia visualization techniques. Applicants should be comfortable working in a collaborative research setting. The fellowship research project will be developed by the candidate in collaboration with scholars from a variety of related disciplines, and will have an associated public outreach dimension.

For further information please contact Ursula K. Heise uheise@stanford.edu , Professor of English, Director of the Program in Modern Thought and Literature and faculty coordinator of the Environmental Humanities Project, or Jon Christensen jonchristensen@stanford.edu , Executive Director, Bill Lane
Center for the American West, Stanford University

Applicants should submit the following materials by April 1, 2010:

Dickinson College invites applications for an 18-month Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar in Sustainability of Human-Environment Interactions to begin August 2009.

The successful candidate will carry out a research project using spatial concepts and geographic information science methods (e.g. GIS) to explore questions about human interactions with the environment and implications for sustainability. The research project should be broadly interdisciplinary and address questions at the interface of at least two of the following: humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Projects are sought with a focus on problems related to food systems and sustainable agriculture or land use change impacts on biogeochemical cycles and other ecosystem goods and services of watersheds, but proposals of projects on other aspects of human-environment interactions will also be considered. In addition to carrying out the proposed research project, the successful applicant will be expected to give a series of lectures as part of a colloquium on problems in sustainability, teach or co-teach one or two courses during the 18-month appointment in an area related to the applicant's expertise, and interact with undergraduates who are conducting research on topics related to the applicant's research.

The purpose of the Visiting Scholar appointment is to model for Dickinson faculty and students how spatial concepts and analytic methods can be applied to problems in sustainability and to provide the Visiting Scholar an opportunity to carry out a research project while gaining experience for successful research and teaching at a liberal arts college. Collaborations on research and teaching are strongly desired by our faculty, including faculty in Africana studies, American studies, anthropology, archaeology, biology, chemistry, community studies, East Asian studies, English, environmental science, geology, health studies, history, Latin American studies, and sociology. The Visiting Scholar will be affiliated with Dickinson's new Center for Environmental and Sustainability Education and other departments as appropriate, and will also work closely with Dickinson's GIS Specialist to promote the use of GIS throughout the college curriculum.

To be eligible, candidates must have received a doctoral degree in 2004 or later, or expect to successfully defend a dissertation no later than August 2009, demonstrated expertise with geographic information systems (GIS), a record of research that applies spatial analysis to problems of human-environment interactions, and teaching experience. Knowledge of spatial statistics would be advantageous. The successful applicant will receive a salary and benefits commensurate with experience and will be
eligible to apply for additional financial support for travel, research and professional development.

Apply on-line at: https://jobs.dickinson.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=50670. Application materials must include (1) a letter of application with statement of research and teaching interests, (2) a research proposal of up to 3 pages with indication of modest budget needs, (3) a curriculum vitae, (4) a graduate transcript, and (5) names and contact details of three references. Applications received by February 2, 2009, will receive full consideration. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.

Dickinson College is committed to diversity, and we encourage candidates who will contribute to meeting that goal to apply. Applications and nominations of women and minorities are strongly encouraged.
