Building on the Wisconsin RISE Initiative, the School of Human Ecology (SoHE) at University of Wisconsin-Madison invites applications for 5 full time, tenure-track positions (on an annual 9-month contract) at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor in the next 1-2 years.
In SoHE, cross-unit collaborations expand our capacity to obtain funded research support and provide students with high-impact learning opportunities. We seek colleagues who are imaginative, collaborative, with strong disciplinary training who are interested in shaping the future in connecting communities of researchers, students and stakeholders. The successful candidates will bring methodological diversity and rigor applied to understanding and solving real-world problems along with a strengths-based approach to understanding and promoting equity and justice. More specifically, we are seeking colleagues who are poised to make major discoveries and translate them into real-world impact under the following areas:
RISE-AI: AI-enhanced design analytics, creativity, and collaboration; AI applications in consumer and personal finance, family caregiving and community health services through multi-modal models; and ethical AI in design and innovations.
RISE-EARTH: The built environment and its impact on human behavior; the impact of climate change on financial vulnerability, risks and exposures to marginalized groups; food security and food systems and working with people and communities; the impact of fashion and textile industry on social, environmental, and economic sustainability.
RISE-THRIVE: Social, educational and economic determinants of health and linking early and midlife exposures with later life health and health disparities; new technologies (including AI and robotics) to support health, health equity, and general well-being; caregiving, social supports, and connection across the life course.
Applicants are invited to examine one or more departments, and one or more RISE areas. Applicants are encouraged to visit our webpage for additional information: https://humanecology.wisc.edu/futurefaculty/
