Posted By: How May I Help You NC on February 04, 2015 The Department of Geography and the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment at Texas State University invite applications for an Endowed Chair in Water Conservation to begin Fall 2015. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an externally funded research program that addresses the management and conservation of water resources in the context of environmental and human needs. Applicants must have an established externally-funded research record in water conservation and be qualified for tenure and appointment at the rank of Full Professor in the Department of Geography. Applicants with a distinguished career in non-academic positions may also be considered for appointment as Professor of Practice. (At Texas State University, Faculty of Practice are full-time non-tenurable faculty who have acquired extensive professional or managerial experience that qualifies them to serve successfully as researchers and/or instructors.) A PhD degree in Geography or a closely related discipline relevant to the position is required. Preference will be given to individuals with experience working with government agencies and other groups on water management and conservation issues, a record of interdisciplinary collaboration, expertise in conducting and disseminating externally funded research, experience mentoring students, and the potential to collaborate widely with Texas State faculty members. Salaries and start-up packages are competitive and commensurate with experience. Applicants must electronically submit 1) a letter of application outlining their research and teaching experiences and the compatibility of their work with the mission of the Department of Geography and the Meadows Center; 2) a curriculum vitae; and 3) the names and contact information for three references. Please submit all application materials to the search committee chair, Dr. David Butler. Review of applications will begin March 2, 2015 and continue until the position is filled. Please indicate “Endowed Chair in Water Conservation” in the subject line of all emails related to this search. The Department of Geography has 34 full-time faculty members, over 600 undergraduate majors in BA and BS programs, and over 150 graduate students in our Master of Science (MS), Master of Applied Geography (MAG), and PhD programs.
