Tenure Track

St. Lawrence University seeks a qualified candidate for a tenure track position in environmental studies at the assistant professor level beginning August 2007.

In addition to the course about energy, the candidate may also teach other upper level environmental studies courses which complement the broadly interdisciplinary program in place at St. Lawrence, such as seminars in sustainable design, life cycle analysis or waste management.
