outstanding candidates for a tenure-track faculty position
in the field of Energy and Environment, focusing on energy

Candidates should be capable in quantitative analytic
methods via fields such as the social sciences, natural and

energy policy issues. We are particularly interested in
someone capable of working on issues of energy and climate
change mitigation. Possible areas of expertise include
scientific analysis and/or modeling of current and future
energy pathways (including fossil fuels, nuclear, biofuels,
and renewables), energy policy and sustainability, energy
and greenhouse gas emissions, energy linkages with air
quality or water resource issues, energy conservation,
advanced energy management systems, and technological
innovation.
The appointment will be in the UCLA Institute of the
Environment - http://www.environment.ucla.edu - a dynamic

representing faculty in the health sciences, life sciences,
physical sciences, social sciences, engineering, law and
other disciplines. Affiliations with other campus units are
