The Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies seeks up to three exceptional natural, physical or social scientists to diversify and/or strengthen the current teaching and research portfolio of a strongly interdisciplinary School. The openings are available at both the tenure-track junior level and at the senior level. Ideal candidates will have an outstanding record of original scholarship and will also demonstrate potential for collaborating with natural, physical and social scientists within the School and more broadly at Yale, to address environmental issues of societal importance, such as the science, policy and management of forest and freshwater resources, biodiversity, agriculture and land use, urbanization, and air pollution. Applications from candidates with strengths in environmental economics, the conservation and management of tropical forests, or holistic approaches to energy systems, will be particularly welcome. Successful candidates will be expected to develop an internationally recognized research program that involves graduate students, to work across disciplinary boundaries in a collegial environment, and to teach in both the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and in Yale College.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, and the names of four references via email to fesdeansoffice@yale.edu or via surface mail to:
