Applicants should have expertise focused on structural and other forms of racism—including racism in public policies—that create environmental racism and associated social inequities.

We are open to negotiating joint appointments with other units at the university, such as the School of Environment and Sustainability, the School of Public Health, the college of Literature, Sciences, and the Arts, the Institute for Social Research, and any other unit on campus.
