Job Opportunities
The University of Hawai‘i at Manoa (UHM) is undertaking a strategic interdisciplinary initiative focused on marine coastal sustainability. With the support of the UHM Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw, the initiative seeks a team of five tenure-track faculty (four [4] Assistant-level and one [1] Associate/Full-level) in complementary disciplines who can significantly contribute to this strategic effort. The initiative is aimed at synergizing inter-disciplinary research, teaching and outreach that address important aspects of island life, and thereby strives to maintain the qualities of life that make Hawai‘i unique.
The term “sustainability” describes a longstanding ethic involving peoples’ relationships with the environment and the current generation’s responsibilities to future generations. Implicit is responsibility to address today’s issues, needs and aspirations while ensuring the capacity of our descendants to provide for their future. While Hawai‘i’s people are faced with special challenges associated with their geographic isolation, fragile ecosystems, limited space and natural resources, they are fortunate to have a wide range of renewable energy opportunities, and a cultural tradition of living within the capacity of their island habitats and ecosystems to meet their needs. UHM is committed to developing the knowledge and the human resources that will allow our State and Nation to address the opportunities presented by the responsibility to live sustainably within our marine coastal ecosystem.
