Wold Family Professorship in Environmental Balance for Human Sustainability

Wold Family Professorship in Environmental Balance for Human Sustainability

The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University is searching for a geoscientist to be the next Wold Family Professor of Practice in Environmental Balance for Human Sustainability. We seek candidates with significant experience with energy, mineral resources, and/or environmental industries. Preference will be given to candidates who can teach translation skills in these sectors and establish connections with potential employers. The appointment is on a 5-year term (renewable), and is for a half-time academic year position. Whereas the position is ideally suited for an individual seeking flexibility for external commitments, the holder of the Chair must be eager to engage in innovative education of the next generation of global leaders in this field.

Environmental Balance for Human Sustainability will require the continuing supply of energy and minerals, discovered and delivered responsibly. The Wold Family Professor will be expected to connect our department with the private sector through teaching classes, potentially contributing to capstone classes with industry connections, focusing on helping students develop practical skills needed to understand the challenges related to the environmental, mineral or energy resources, and the approaches required to achieve sustainable management of resources in the future. The Wold Professor will also have the opportunity to contribute to the initiation and growth of an industry consortium by recruiting new industry members, matching industry projects with research groups within the consortium, advising students on industry projects, and contributing to the consortium symposium and activity report.

Cornell University is an innovative Ivy League university and a great place to work. Our inclusive community of scholars, students and staff impart an uncommon sense of larger purpose and contribute creative ideas to further the university's mission of teaching, discovery and engagement. With our main campus located in Ithaca, NY Cornell's far-flung global presence includes the medical college's campuses in Manhattan and Doha, Qatar, as well as the new Cornell Tech campus located on Roosevelt Island in the heart of New York City.
