Teaching reductions are available for candidates who secure extramural funding, among other options. Housing assistance is available.
Santa Clara University's College of Arts & Sciences has an ongoing cluster hire in the area of Inequality & Social Justice. This position will be included in the Fall 2025 cohort. Cluster hire participants will receive mentorship and regular group meetings providing peer support and interdisciplinary intellectual community to support their scholarly and creative work.
The Department of Environmental Studies and Sciences faculty members often collaborate with colleagues in other SCU departments, including Ethnic Studies, Public Health, Biology, Economics, Engineering, Anthropology and Law. The Department values community-engaged and environmental justice research that is published in recognized peer-reviewed outlets, is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, and strongly encourages applications from members of historically excluded groups, including people of color, women, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities. Over the last decade, Santa Clara University has recruited an increasingly diverse faculty, enrolled more diverse and low-income students, and it recently committed to becoming a Hispanic Serving Institution.
