The Environmental Analysis Field Group at Pitzer College seeks to recruit a tenure-track
assistant professor position in environmental justice to contribute to our undergraduate
curriculum. We seek candidates whose work on environmental justice analyzes the impacts of
public policy among Indigenous peoples and/or communities of color, with preference for
scholars focused on North America. We are interested in candidates who bring empirical,
ethnographic, applied, and/or mixed methods approaches to the analysis of environmental
racism, climate justice, economic policy, land sovereignty issues, energy policy, climate change
adaptation and mitigation, and/or environmental regulation. We are interested in candidates
whose research and teaching will focus on the analysis of and solutions to racial disparities and
the intersections between climate and environmental quality issues in disadvantaged
communities. Familiarity with social movements and a strong justice orientation is desired.
Scholars working across the fields of environmental policy, Indigenous studies, ethnic studies,
resource management, food systems, and/or land use policy are encouraged to apply. The
successful candidate will teach a section of Introduction to Environmental Analysis and may
periodically offer a writing intensive first-year seminar.
Pitzer College has a strong institutional commitment to diversity in all areas and strongly
encourages candidates from underrepresented groups. We favor candidates who can
contribute to the College’s distinctive educational objectives, which promote interdisciplinary
perspectives, intercultural understanding, and concern with social responsibility and the ethical
