Native Scholarship Faculty Position Search

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking to fill three faculty positions as part of a campus-wide

cluster hiring initiative to add to the vibrant community of academic researchers at UW-Madison

focused on research at the nexus of environment, health, and community in the Native American

context. Participating units in this three-faculty cluster hire include the Nelson Institute for

Environmental Studies, the School of Nursing, and the School of Human Ecology. Further information

regarding this initiative can be found at this link: https://facstaff.provost.wisc.edu/cluster-hiringinitiative/

.

The successful candidate in The Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies will conduct research and

participate in teaching that addresses environmental components essential to a healthful and culturally

rich environment. We seek applications from those with expertise in any environmental health area,

including, but not limited to: environmental epidemiology; assessment of food systems as they relate to

community health and social support; environmental effects of policies unique to Native jurisdictions;

study of the nature, distribution, management, restoration, and health related benefits of natural

ecosystems having cultural significance to Native peoples. A large range of disciplinary backgrounds will

be considered, including, but not limited to: population health, public health, demography, toxicology,

geography, anthropology, ecology, and soil, air, and water sciences. More information and application

The successful candidate in the School of Nursing will be expected to develop and maintain a

collaborative, interdisciplinary, innovative, and highly visible research program. The successful

candidate's research program should generate new knowledge about chronic disease prevention and

management applicable to Native American communities. Research programs should address the major

factors that affect quality of life and contribute to morbidity and mortality among Native American

populations (e.g. cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, serious or persistent mental illness,

cancer, and substance abuse). Research programs may build on multiple approaches including symptom

science, qualitative, health services research, epidemiology, community based participatory research

(CBPR) or mixed methods. Research programs should be consistent with national Native American,

nursing, public health, medicine, behavioral health, mental health, health care, or health systems

priorities for extramural research funding. More information and application can be found here:

American youth, their families, and communities. The area of research is open but should emphasize the

strengths of Indigenous groups and may include indigenous knowledge systems; traditional ecological

knowledge; community/tribal education, health, psychosocial health and wellbeing, housing, and food

sovereignty; environmental justice and community sustainability, mass incarceration, etc. While the

specific area of research for this position is flexible, the candidate's research should focus on Indigenous

peoples with a particular focus on Wisconsin communities (both urban and sovereign nations). More
