The Yale School of the Environment (YSE) invites applications for a Professor in the Practice of Collaborative Solutions, with expertise in the broad area of environmental dialogue and conflict resolution. Professors in the Practice at Yale are distinguished practitioners who demonstrate eminence in the field, sustained accomplishment, and ongoing activity in their area of practice. An initial appointment will be for a 5-year term, renewable upon mutual agreement.
The successful candidate will establish an innovative Collaborative Solutions Program (CSP) at YSE that convenes diverse stakeholders in environmental conflicts and engages them in dialogue to build consensus, mediate conflicts, resolve disputes, and develop collaborative solutions at local, regional, and global scales. The CSP can draw on the expertise of faculty at YSE and other departments and professional schools at Yale (e.g., the Yale Law School, School of Management, School of Public Health, etc.), and on other YSE initiatives such as The Forests Dialogue and the Yale Environmental Dialogue, to support their activities.
The University is committed to basing judgments concerning the admission, education, and employment of individuals upon their qualifications and abilities and seeks to attract to its faculty, staff, and student body qualified persons from a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives.
Additionally, in accordance with this Policy and as delineated by federal and Connecticut law, Yale does not discriminate in admissions, educational programs, or employment against any individual on account of that individual’s sex; sexual orientation; gender identity or expression; pregnancy, childbirth or related conditions; race; color; national or ethnic origin; religion; age; disability; protected veteran status, or other protected classes as set forth in federal and Connecticut law.

The final candidate, upon acceptance of a contingent offer of employment/faculty appointment, may be required to disclose whether they are, or have been, the subject of any disciplinary proceeding (investigation, hearing, etc.) at previous institutions or employers, and may also be subject to a background screening. Candidates who materially misrepresent information on their resume or other application materials are ineligible for hire/appointment. Final candidates may also be required to sign a release to allow Yale to solicit information regarding any substantiated conduct violations from current and/or past employers.
