Teaching Assistant Jobs

The Department of Environmental Sciences (ENVS) at Emory University in Atlanta invites applications for an Assistant Teaching Professor in Applied Environmental Social Sciences, beginning August 1, 2027. For this teaching-track position, we seek a dynamic and collaborative teacher-scholar who can engage students in understanding and investigating the social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions of environmental challenges, and bring applied approaches to environmental social science teaching and research. This is a renewable three-year appointment with the potential for promotion. We are especially interested in candidates who strengthen teaching in environmental institutions, governance, policy, and related areas, with environmental questions and challenges at the core; contribute broadly to the Social Science and Policy curriculum, bringing environmental social science perspectives to environmental change; critically examine questions of power, inequality, distributional consequences, and competing interests in their teaching; contribute to field studies and experiential learning by integrating social and biophysical approaches to understanding environmental systems and challenges; and bring expertise that creates opportunities for integration across the social and natural sciences, including in areas such as but not limited to water and natural resources, energy, or sustainability.
