if you’d be able to send this around to people you think would potentially be interested. I would love to encourage people who are doing critical work around native/indigenous history, empire/colonialism, race, political economy, and environment to apply. </span></div>

with a focus on water to apply for a tenure-track position at the rank of assistant professor. The time period and area of specialization are open. A candidate’s research may engage, for instance, with the social, political, and intellectual dimensions of
human-water interactions; water access, use, or management; oceanography, limnology, hydrology, or fisheries science; or water biology and ecology, both marine and freshwater. The successful candidate may have a transnational dimension to their research but
should be well grounded in a US context.</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(34,34,34)"><br>

which include indigenous history, environmental history, slavery and race relations, US empire and militarization, comparative imperialisms/colonialisms, and political economy.</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(34,34,34)"><br>

and information, science and empire, health and environment, and the global history of science. We are especially interested in innovative scholars willing to explore interdisciplinary water research in collaboration with colleagues in water-focused research
centers and other units at UW–Madison, such as the Aquatic Sciences Center, Center for Limnology, Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, La Follette School of Public Policy, and Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. The tenure home will be in
