Director of the Center for Environmental Research, Education and Outreach
Washington State University
Search # 115116
OVERVIEW
Washington State University (WSU) seeks a Director for the Center for Environmental
Research, Education and Outreach (CEREO). The Director is a tenured, full-time position in a
relevant academic unit. The start date will be negotiated with the successful candidate. The
CEREO position is part of WSU?s priority to build a diverse faculty and, as such, female and
minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
CEREO is a faculty-led initiative featuring 200+ affiliated faculty. The Center was approved by
the WSU Faculty Senate in 2006 to promote system-wide (multi-campus) interdisciplinary
environmental activities integrated across research, education and outreach efforts that are
regional, national, and global in scope. CEREO has become a premier center of research,
teaching and service activity, and brought together faculty from all corners of the university ?
both accomplished senior and early career faculty interested in collaboration on major
institutional initiatives. CEREO advances three principal goals in pursuing its innovative and
ambitious agenda:
? promotion of broad, multi-investigator interdisciplinary research programs for ground-
breaking environmental research and graduate training, raising CEREO to the highest
status in the University;
? facilitation of high quality environmental research, undergraduate teaching, and
effective institutional outreach that supports and leverages WSU?s Land Grant mandate
via active collaboration across WSU?s four campuses and numerous Extension centers;
? stimulation of productive relationships and coordination of research with diverse
stakeholders to share expertise and information, provide service, and promote
public/private collaboration to benefit communities at the local and global levels.
Through these goals, CEREO has successfully facilitated a number of major (multi-year, large-
budget) multidisciplinary grant proposals involving faculty from the biological, physical and
social sciences, education, engineering, and agriculture in high-profile cross-campus
collaborations. Building on these successes, and the emergence of Earth system environmental
health as one of the grand challenges of the 21st century, CEREO has launched a new system-
wide initiative known as Earth, Ecosystems, and Society (EES). The purpose of EES is to
coordinate and cultivate studies of natural and managed ecosystems, ecosystem services, and
the societal and human dimensions of environmental change in an Earth systems context. A
particular focus in this regard is the provision of support to teams of faculty early in their
careers to develop ambitious proposals for extramural funding featuring cross-disciplinary
work. CEREO?s Director and Executive Committee will play a key role in the development and
operation of EES as it grows in importance at the University.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Director shall be a demonstrated leader and an effective communicator of stature who
works with an actively engaged Executive Committee and Center membership to achieve
CEREO?s broadly shared vision. The Director will facilitate the continued ascendance of CEREO?s
national and international reputation. In addition, the Director must be proficient in
developing, overseeing, and managing budgets and resources efficiently, and instrumental in
building and strengthening relationships with professional associations, industry, governmental
agencies, and other stakeholders.
Additionally, it is expected that the successful applicant will:
? Provide transparent leadership in a collaborative setting and work effectively with the
University Provost, the Vice President for Research, Deans of the Colleges, the Director of
WSU Extension, the CEREO Executive Committee, and the CEREO External Advisory Board.
? Stimulate the development of collaborative relationships among colleges and departments.
? Manage the operations and strategic development of CEREO through active, ongoing
engagement of the CEREO Executive Committee and CEREO affiliated faculty across all
campuses.
? Promote and coordinate the development of broad interdisciplinary grant proposals.
? Represent, support and integrate the education, research and extension programs
encompassed by the disciplines present at a Land Grant university.
? Foster active collaboration with relevant outside agencies and organizations using the
outreach infrastructure of the university spanning local, regional, national and global
networks.
? Advance the university?s commitment to diversity and multiculturalism among faculty, staff,
students, research, teaching and community outreach, with relevant programs, goals and
activities.
? Work with university administration, faculty, and external stakeholders to implement the
enhancement of EES, specifically its faculty fellowship, magnet-facility, and environmental
education program elements.
SALARY AND COMPENSATION
Salary and compensation are commensurate with candidate qualifications and experience and
competitive with similar positions nationally.
QUALIFICATIONS
Required Qualifications
? Earned Ph.D. or equivalent degree in any environmentally-related research discipline and a
strong scholarly record of research and/or policy experience on environmental topics
suitable for tenure at the associate or full professor level within a relevant academic unit at
Washington State University.
? A record of accomplishment leading to national and international recognition for excellence
in scholarship related to the environment.
? Experience in obtaining and managing large multi-disciplinary extramural grants over the
past 60 months.
? Substantial familiarity with a wide array of governmental and foundation-based funding.
Demonstrated:
? Ability to work with faculty from a variety of disciplines.
? Ability to work collegially and collaboratively with diverse internal and external
constituencies.
? Knowledge and ability to work effectively with individuals and groups with a variety of
identities, cultures, backgrounds, and ideologies in a global environment.
? Skills as a highly effective communicator with both professional and public audiences.
? Appreciation for, and understanding of, the mission of a Land Grant institution.
? Abilities in consensus building, strategic planning and implementation.
? Appreciation for, and understanding of, the importance of working in a multi-campus
university system.
UNIVERSITY
Washington State University (www.wsu.edu) is a Land Grant research institution with an
enrollment of approximately 27,300 students distributed across four campuses located in
Pullman, Spokane, Vancouver, and the Tri-Cities (Richland, Pasco and Kennewick). The WSU
multi-campus system was developed in the mid-1980s under the guiding principle of ?one
University geographically dispersed.? In addition to the four campuses, there are Extension
offices in every county of the state, eight agricultural research centers, and online degree
programs accessible worldwide. In each of these locations, there are active environmental
programs conducting research, teaching or outreach which will allow tremendous opportunities
for CEREO to grow and have a large impact across the state and region. WSU has excellent
faculty-friendly policies, including a partner accommodation program, and is the recipient of a
2008 National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation award to increase the
recruitment, retention, and advancement of women faculty in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) disciplines (see www.ADVANCE.wsu.edu). The Carnegie Foundation
classifies WSU as one of 96 U.S. public and private universities with very high research activity.
There are seven colleges offering doctoral degrees in 44 disciplines; Master?s and bachelor?s
degrees are offered in 55 areas of study. WSU is one of the largest residential universities in the
West. Close collaborations also exist with the University of Idaho, in Moscow, ID, which is also
a Land Grant research institution of 12,500 students located just eight miles to the east. The
close proximity facilitates collaboration of research, teaching and extension activities. For
additional information on the Washington State University campuses and the surrounding
communities, please see http://provost.wsu.edu/prospective-faculty.html.
