The Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor nine-month faculty position in the area of Forest Health, with an expected start date of July 1, 2026.
We seek applicants whose work addresses specific aspects of forest health, including (but not limited to): impacts of climate change on the host-pest/pathogen relationship; threats posed by natural and anthropogenic agents to tree conservation; and innovations in the monitoring and management of forest health.
We encourage applicants whose research contributes to an integrated understanding of forest health and its broad impacts on ecosystems and societies.
Interdisciplinary research and cross-institutional collaborations that advance translation science and inform public policy are fundamental aspects of the University of California’s land grant mission. Given the critical role forests play in the global carbon balance, we encourage candidates whose research addresses climate solutions to apply.
