发帖数: 19 | 1 NINE FACULTY POSITIONS IN PLANNING, REGIONAL ECONOMICS,
ECOLOGICAL SAFETY, URBAN SOCIOLOGY,
URBAN ANTHROPOLOGY, AND PUBLIC HEALTH
The Shanghai Key Laboratory for Urban Ecology and Sustainability (SKLUES)
and
School of Resources and Environment at East China Normal University (ECNU),
Shanghai, China invite nominations and applications for nine tenure-track,
open-rank faculty positions, beginning May 1st, 2011.
Under a new campus-wide initiative, SKLUES has identified urban ecology and
urban
sustainability as two intertwined areas of strategic emphasis, and adopted a
transdisciplinary approach to urban ecosystem and sustainability research.
SKLUES views an urban area as a coupled human and natural system (CHANS),
and believes that a sustainable future resides in a harmony between human
communities and their natural and built environments. Its research,
education, and outreach activities focus on “ecology of cities”, instead
of “ecology in cities”, with an emphasis on human safety, health, and well
-being. To substantiate this strategic re-orientation and re-structuring,
SKLUES invites nominations and applications for nine tenure-track, open-rank
faculty positions in
the following areas.
