The Richard & Rhoda Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track appointment to the faculty at any rank to begin July 1, 2012. The level of appointment will be commensurate with the candidate’s record of scholarship.
The Goldman School seeks applications from those who study public policies concerned with resource and eco-system sustainability, the provision and management of energy, maintaining a healthy environment, responding to global climate change, and governmental efforts at any level from local to global in response to population growth, urbanization, and the increasing demands for energy, food, water, and other resources. Illustrative areas of specialization include (but are not limited to) analyzing the risks, costs and benefits of various energy, environment, and resource policies; designing economic and political systems and incentives for making the public aware of and responsive to these risks, costs and benefits; and a rigorous understanding of behavioral responses to policies focusing on air, water, land, energy, food, or other resources. The Goldman School is especially interested in applicants with strong methodological skills rooted in risk and decision analysis, engineering, eco-system dynamics, economics, psychology, statistics, or other systematic methods of analysis who bring these skills to bear directly on public policy issues.
The Goldman School encourages applications from a very broad array of fields including engineering, ecology, economics, statistics, the natural sciences, and the social and behavioral sciences. Applicants who are scientists or engineers with strong social science skills or social scientists with training in engineering or science are especially welcome.
The Goldman School is interested in candidates who have demonstrated commitment to excellence by providing leadership in teaching, research, and service, and who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and service.
Preference will be given to scholars who have demonstrated the potential to make significant research contributions and who have a clear interest in teaching. The School particularly seeks applications from those with interests in teaching in the core Masters in Public Policy professional program. The School expects to appoint an individual broadly conversant with public policy and who will engage with an intellectually diverse faculty.
