The Department of Geography and Environmental Sustainability in the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences at the University of Oklahoma (OU) seeks an innovative scholar at the Assistant Professor level whose research encompasses sustainable energy transitions and climate justice. The ideal candidate will employ Social Science and Policy research aimed at advancing just energy transitions.

To apply, submit a letter of interest clearly identifying to which position you are applying, a curriculum vitae, and a list of three people who can serve as references (with e-mail addresses and telephone numbers). The cover letter may address examples of the candidate’s approach to research, teaching, and service; it may also include ideas for future contributions to research, past instructional and mentorship experiences, as well as plans/goals for teaching at the University of Oklahoma.
