Faculty Position in Sustainability (cross-disciplinary)

Northwestern University invites applications for a tenure track faculty position in sustainability.  Sustainability is defined broadly to include energy and natural resource supply and consumption, environmental science and technology, Earth and climate science, and their complex interrelationship with economic, political, and social issues.
