NIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA, Department of Geography, invites 
applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in 
the Geography of Globalization with an emphasis on its economic dimensions. 
Social scientists from disciplines such as economics, regional science, 
political science, sociology, demography, or anthropology are also encouraged 
to apply. A common denominator of many of the most pressing issues facing 
humanity is the rapid increase in global and regional connectivity that permits 
large-scale, cross-boundary socio-economic interaction. The spatial mobility of 
people, commodities, disease, pollution, cultural attitudes, and technological 
innovations all contribute to complex multi-scale interactions that give rise 
to issues as diverse as national/regional economic insecurity, the economic 
impacts of hazardous events, the economics of pollutants and greenhouse gases, 
the management of infectious diseases, and the globalization of commodity and 
labor markets. The successful candidate will tackle pioneering research 
problems associated with these multi-scale interactions, employing core 
geographic concepts such as scale, diffusion, networks, spatial interaction, 
and regionalization. A Ph.D. is required by the date of appointment. The 
Department has strengths in three broadly defined areas: human-environment 
relations; modeling, measurement, and computation; and earth system science. 
The position also provides opportunities for interactions with UCSB?s Spatial 
Center and the Center for Global & International Studies. The department is 
especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and 
excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service. 
The application deadline is *December 8, 2008*, the starting date is July 1, 
2009. Qualified applicants should send their complete curriculum vitae, 
statement of research and teaching interests, and names of three referees with 
addresses preferably by email to global_search at geog.ucsb.edu, or by mail to 
Search Committee, Department of Geography, University of California, Santa 
Barbara, CA 93106-4060. To learn more about the department, visit our website 
at www.geog.ucsb.edu <http://www.geog.ucsb.edu>. An EO/AA Employer.
