Associate or Full Professor of Empire Innovation: Community Climate Resilience
Position Title Associate or Full Professor of Empire Innovation: Community Climate Resilience
The School of Architecture and Planning ( SAP ) at University at Buffalo (UB), The State University of New York, invites candidates to apply for the position of Professor of Empire Innovation, at the rank of Associate Professor or Full Professor with tenure in the Department of Architecture or the Department of Urban and Regional Planning. The selected candidate will receive support through the SUNY Empire Innovation Program ( EIP ), which recognizes exceptional scholars with a proven track record of externally funded research and offers a generous compensation and start-up package.
We invite applications from researchers who have exceptional track records in Community Climate Resilience including the study of: (1) environmental and climate justice, (2) planning and design innovations aimed at promoting resilience to extreme weather events and other types of disasters, (3) ways in which biophysical conditions (e.g., micro-climates in the built environment) interact with individual and household level sensitivities (e.g., socio-economic marginalization), and/or (4) community-level adaptive capacities to reduce risk and promote resilience.
The Professor of Empire Innovation will complement existing strengths across the SAP which include expertise in extreme weather vulnerability and governance, energy, water resources governance, food systems planning, health inequities, the Global South, transportation infrastructure, building resilience and energy efficiency, sustainable housing, social justice, environmental design and community engagement.
This position is part of a cluster hire that includes additional EIP hires in the Department of Geology and the Department of Geography in the College of Arts and Science, and the Department of Civil Structural, and Environmental Engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, aimed at enhancing research and education in community resilience. Cluster hiring across the three decanal units is aimed to coalesce existing strengths and promote research and education and increased funding in interdisciplinary studies to advance science and engineering in community resilience. The successful candidate is thus expected to work across the University to build interdisciplinary approaches to strengthen societal resilience to natural and climate hazards, linking expertise in resilient infrastructure engineering, urban planning, communications, and crisis management.
The Professor of Empire Innovation will teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, mentor graduate students, and maintain an active externally funded research program.
We are particularly looking for candidates who can operate effectively in a diverse community of students and faculty members and share our core vision of helping all constituents reach their full potential within a professional culture that values equity, diversity, and inclusion.
