Overview

The Department of Environmental Studies & Sciences at Santa

Clara University (SCU), a Jesuit Catholic institution, invites

Race, Justice, and the Environment. The successful candidate will

be expected to teach, engage in a scholarship program, and provide

teaching scholar who will conduct applied research at the intersection

of race, justice, and the environment.

We encourage applications that utilize environmental social science

on a quarter system, and faculty are expected to teach 6 courses per

year (2 each quarter), assuming they are engaged in an active

scholarship program. 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. For more information about our
