Professor Jobs

Oxford College, a two-year liberal arts undergraduate college within Emory University, invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Environmental Science, beginning August 1, 2027. The successful candidate will contribute to the college’s teaching, research, and service mission and support a diverse population of motivated first- and second-year undergraduates through teaching and mentoring. The college seeks a broadly trained environmental scientist with expertise in environmental policy and the ability to teach within the natural sciences. The appointee will teach an introductory Environmental Policy course and Introduction to Environmental Studies, which covers sustainability, biogeochemical cycles, ecology, Earth systems, energy resources, and climate change and includes a field-based lab. The candidate may develop additional courses for majors and non-majors, including a first-year discovery seminar. Flexibility to contribute to a range of courses in the environmental science curriculum is encouraged. The typical teaching load for Oxford College science faculty is two courses, with associated labs or the equivalent, each semester. Candidates are expected to maintain an active research program with potential to involve undergraduates. Oxford College’s Science Building supports student-faculty collaboration, scholarship, and innovative STEM teaching, and the college offers programs supporting teaching, professional development, and grant seeking.
