This faculty position is at the rank of Associate or Full Professor and tenure-eligible pending approval from the Texas A&M System Board of Regents. We seek applicants with a distinguished record of research focused on addressing problems and developing solutions for issues facing our coastal and marine environments, economies, and communities, including work on community resilience. A successful candidate will have a research program that is centered on, or relatable to the Gulf of Mexico.

Candidates should have a strong record of conducting applied research supporting policy or management recommendations in one or more of the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences. The successful applicant will be expected to work primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and develop synergistic relationships with existing programs at HRI across the natural science and policy spectrum as well as with local, state and/or federal agencies, NGOs, and the private sector. Ideal candidates will have interest or experience in international collaboration in Mexico and Cuba. The successful applicant will be expected to have nationally and internationally recognized research programs, a strong record of science-driven stakeholder engagement activities, a strong extramural funding record, success in mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral scientists, and record of instruction at the graduate level.
