Faculty Recruitment Announcement Department of Geography, National Taiwan University, invites applications for 1–2 full-time faculty positions (assistant, associate or full professor) in teaching and research, with an expected start date of August 2026. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. We welcome scholars whose expertise engages geographical/spatial issues across geography, earth and environmental sciences, urban and regional planning, land economics/land administration or related fields—either to strengthen the department’s interdisciplinary research in geography or to deepen technology applications to the humanities and social sciences, area studies, and environmental sustainability, including:

Track-1. Physical geography and the earth critical zone: Land surface processes, environmental ecology, soil science, remote-sensing hydrology, socio-ecological systems, land modeling and land use;

Track-2. Human geography and environmental studies: Local–regional development, economic geography, culture–society–nature studies, regional studies and geography, world regional geography and international development, and global environmental change (human development and policy dimensions);

Track-3. Interdisciplinary sustainability studies integrating natural and social/humanistic disciplines with active stakeholder participation.

Priority will be given to candidates able to teach one or more of the following courses: programming, cartography & geographic information systems (GIS), statistics (with lab), and spatial data analysis. We also welcome applicants whose teaching spans critical, cross-disciplinary work in human and technical/digital geographies (critical studies of digital technologies) or who have experience with critical fieldtrip/fieldwork pedagogy.

We seek candidates with strong potential to lead innovative geographic research, a passion for teaching, and a collaborative spirit to help expand our department’s interdisciplinary capacity.
