The Department of Environmental Science at the University of San Francisco
The Department of Environmental Science at the University of San Francisco invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions, contingent on funding approval, at the assistant professor level to begin in August 2009. Primary responsibilities include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in programs offered or supported by the Department, with curriculum oversight and development, as appropriate. A PhD is required, teaching and/or post-doctoral experience is desirable, and a commitment to undergraduate science education for majors and non-majors is essential.
Of special interest are candidates with expertise in a) landscape ecology, GIS and remote sensing; b) environmental health and toxicology; or c) energy, resources and sustainability science. However, candidates with expertise in other areas of environmental science/studies are also encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will also be expected to develop a dynamic research program that ideally would allow for undergraduate student participation. The area of research is open, but a candidate with interdisciplinary interests within the environmental arena is preferred.
Please submit the following materials electronically to envscisearch@usfca.edu: cover letter, curriculum vitae, graduate transcripts, a statement addressing teaching in a liberal arts environment (2 pages max), a research statement that addresses how to involve students, and for applicants with university teaching experience, syllabi and course evaluations. Candidates should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be forwarded directly to this email or to the Search Committee Chair. Inquiries about the positions or printed applications should be sent to: Dr. John Callaway, Search Committee Chair, Department of Environmental Science, University of San Francisco, 2130 Fulton Street, San Francisco, CA 94117, email: callaway@usfca.edu
Completed applications will be reviewed starting November 1, 2008 and accepted until the position is filled. The Department is part of the College of Arts and Sciences; a new integrated science building for undergraduate teaching is currently being planned in response to program growth. Information about the Department and its programs can be found at: http://www.usfca.edu/artsci/ug/environmental_science/index.html,

Epidemiologist/Biostatistician position
The Health Effects Institute (HEI) is seeking a strong candidate to join its multidisciplinary scientific staff. HEI is a nonprofit organization designed to provide impartial, relevant, and high-quality scientific information about the health effects of air pollution. Its core funds come equally from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and industry.
The position available is for an epidemiologist or biostatistician to work on a range of activities. These include reviewing and writing commentaries on final research reports, contributing to literature reviews on critical issues, and helping develop and implement HEI's research program on air pollution and health. Direct experience in air pollution epidemiology is desirable, but HEI is most interested in finding a scientist with experience and skills in epidemiologic and statistical techniques that have been applied in a variety of environmental and occupational health settings. More information can be found at www.healtheffects.org.
This position requires a doctoral degree in epidemiology or biostatistics and, preferably, at least 3 years of subsequent experience in epidemiologic or other relevant research. Experience on how such research is used in public health and/or policy settings is desirable. Experience in project management is useful, but not required.

This is a tenure-ladder position, with academic rank to be determined in accordance with the successful candidate's experience and productivity.
We seek individuals with expertise in epigenetics who wish to apply this discipline to the study of how environmental exposures affect health. We are particularly interested in exposures such as air pollution, metals, and organic chemicals, but the department's research is broad. We welcome candidates with experience in evaluating intermediate biomarkers of effect and in examining the molecular basis for the observed associations between environmental exposures and health, especially respiratory, cardiovascular and reproductive/developmental endpoints.
Successful applicants will hold a PhD and/or MD degree (or equivalent graduate degree) and will have a record of outstanding productivity in an area that complements the existing research and training goals of the department. The candidate should possess the ability to work collaboratively with other scientists, to develop an independent research program, and to participate in teaching graduate-level courses, and the scholarly qualities required to mentor doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows. The successful candidate will benefit from secondary affiliation with the Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases, a generous start-up package, and state-of-the-art research facilities.
