  • The Opportunity_
Black Faculty Cohort Hiring Initiative


There is an urgent global need to address critical questions on how to sustainably and equitably meet future demands for food, manufactured wood products, and energy, while maintaining biodiversity and ecological functions of our global forests and farmlands.

The Faculties of Forestry and Land & Food Systems Black Faculty Cohort Hire in Food, Forests and (Bio)Fuels will take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding these complex socio-ecological challenges and the future of bio-based food and fuel systems.

Through our existing interdisciplinary research programs, which include scholars in natural and social sciences, our two faculties are uniquely positioned to contribute meaningfully to addressing the role of bioenergy in meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In particular, this cohort would further the two faculties' capacity to address SDGs on Affordable and Clean Energy, Climate Action, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Good Health and Well-Being, Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, Life on Land, and Zero Hunger.

The cluster's interdisciplinary approach will have three pillars focused on ecology, policy, and economics.


The Policy position requires a minimum of a PhD or equivalent in the areas of bioenergy, possibly including expertise in energy policy and governance, energy or land-use modeling, social impacts of energy, systems analysis, and energy transitions.


Consideration may be given to promising applicants who are very near completion of a doctorate degree by the time of the appointment.
