Overview
The Environmental Science, Policy, and Engineering Program (ESPE) and the Department of Economics invite applications for a two-year Postdoctoral Fellow position, beginning Fall 2010. The successful applicant will join a Mellon Foundation-funded multidisciplinary team that is investigating the economic, ecological, and engineering issues surrounding the development of alternative energies in New York State.
A PhD (completed by September 2010 or, possibly, by May 2011) in either Economics or in Environmental Studies with a focus on Economics is required.
Union College is a highly selective liberal-arts college in upstate New York. Its proximity to likely sources of alternative energies including forest biofuels and large-scale wind generation projects, major energy users in the Northeast, and such leading centers of energy research as General Electric make Union College ideally located to investigate such questions as the role of energy markets, the potential for rural redevelopment, and valuation of land and other resources as alternative energies develop.
The Fellow will be expected to design and complete economics research specifically related to the focus of the team. During the two-year position, the Fellow will also co-teach one Introduction to Environmental Studies course and one Senior Environmental Studies Seminar and teach one course in his/her specialty.
How to apply
Interested candidates should submit Research and Teaching Statements, a current CV, and the names of three people willing to offer a recommendation to Professor Jeffrey Corbin, Search Chair, at econpostdoc@union.edu. Review of applications will begin July 23 and continue until the position is filled. For more details, visit http://minerva.union.edu/schmidsj/job.html.
Union College is an equal opportunity employer and strongly committed to increasing the diversity of its workforce. Women and members of other under-represented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
