FIVE FACULTY POSITIONS IN URBAN MODELING, SIMULATION, AND VISUALIZATION
East China Normal University, Shanghai, China
Shanghai Key Laboratory for Urban Ecology and Sustainability
School of Resources and Environment
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 five 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
trans-disciplinary 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 five tenure-track, open-rank
faculty positions in the area of urban modeling, simulation and
visualization.
SKLUES seeks scholars whose expertise in modeling, simulation, and
visualization
focuses on the intersection of urban ecology, society, and economy, all
broadly defined. Especially welcome are applicants who are versed in diverse
theoretical and methodological approaches and prepared to collaborate with
ecological, social, and economic scientists and professionals. Of particular
interest are applicants who have expertise in agent-based modeling (ABM),
complex adaptive systems (CAS), carbon-cycle modeling, such as GEOCARB, GIS
and remote sensing based spatial modeling, spatial decision support, and geo
-visualization.
Basic qualifications are 1) a Ph.D. in a related field by the start date of
the appointment; 2) evidence of a high-quality research agenda; 3) a track
record of/ or potential for excellence in research, scholarship, and
teaching; 4) capability of working in a multidisciplinary team; and 5)
competence to teach classes in English. SCHOLARS WHOSE NATIVE LANGUAGE IS
NOT CHINESE ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED
TO APPLY.
Candidates will be assessed on the overall quality of their academic
preparation and scholarly work, evidence of research ability, evidence of
commitment to teaching and skills as a teacher, and strength of
recommendations. For questions about the positions, contact Professor Wei-
Ning Xiang, Chair of the Search Committee at w*****[email protected].
Application materials should be submitted electronically to the attention of
Professor Wei-Ning Xiang at w*****[email protected]. A complete
application should include:
1) a letter of application addressing applicant’s qualifications for the
position; 2) a curriculum vita; 3) a statement outlining current and future
research and teaching interests; 4) three to five samples of published
papers or manuscripts in progress; 5) names and email addresses of at least
three referees. The review will begin on January 1st , 2011, and continue on
a rolling basis until all positions are filled.
The East China Normal University is one of China’s primary national
research
universities under the prestigious “Project 211” and “Project 985”
http://www.ecnu.edu.cn/english/. It offers a competitive compensation package and a generous startup package, both are commensurate with the candidate’s experience and accomplishments. |
