From an email message that I received recently:
The University of Wyoming is seeking to hire a Professor of Environment and Energy Policy who will hold the SER Professor of Environment and Natural Resources, a termed chair, which includes a primary appointment in the Helga Otto Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources (Haub School) with an affiliation to the School of Energy Resources (SER). UW seeks an accomplished and creative individual to provide research, teaching, outreach/engagement, and service consistent with the educational mission of the University of Wyoming. The Haub School values interdisciplinary approaches to environmental problem solving; scholarship that can inform real-world solutions; tangible, place-based experiences to develop critical thinking skills in the next generation of leaders and decision-makers; and a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment on campus and beyond. SER was created in 2006 to enhance UW’s energy-related education, research and outreach; to that end, SER directs and integrates cutting-edge energy research and academic programs and bridges academics and industry through targeted research programs. Collaboratively, the Haub School and SER often work together on environmental and energy related research and outreach efforts.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The successful candidate will engage in impactful and applied research and scholarship that advances the field of energy and environmental policy; collaborate with policymakers, communities, and industry stakeholders to support real-world decision-making and policy development; teach undergraduate and graduate courses in their area of expertise; and participate in university and professional service. UW seeks candidates who can demonstrate excellent interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching, outstanding communication skills, and capacity to jointy advance the Haub School’s and the School of Energy Resource’s reputation and vision. A competitive applicant will be prepared to engage in policy, outreach and engagement, and real-world practices related to environmental, natural resource, and energy topics. The preferred candidate may be of any rank, but those with a record sufficient to be appointed at the associate level will receive priority.
The SER Professor of Environment and Natural Resources is supported with additional funds that may be used for research, conference travel, graduate students, sponsoring visiting lecturers, and other activities relevant to the position.
The University of Wyoming’s SER Professor of Environmental and Energy Policy has a priority deadline of September 30, 2022. The search is open rank with a preference for an Associate Professor.
Also from the email message:
"The position is open to a JD or other terminal degree. While the position will be housed within the Haub School and the School of Energy Resources, we collaborate closely with the law school and there may be an opportunity for cross appointments."
