The Science, Technology, and Globalization (STG) Program at Embry
Riddle University in Prescott AZ welcomes applications for a
tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor
level. The STG Program is a new and interdisciplinary program based in
the Humanities/Social Science Department and therefore possesses a
strong foundation in cultural, political, economic, linguistic, and
psychological analysis of science, technology, and globalization. The
STG Program, however, has strong interests and ties to the
Engineering, Computer Science, and Aeronautical Science Departments of
our University. The successful candidate should be able to teach
service courses in humanities and/or social sciences as well as
interact (i.e., curriculum development, teach, research) with other
departments. In addition, the candidate will be expected to teach
courses in the core (e.g., Technology and Civilization, Evolution of
Scientific Thought, Global Policy Studies) and in the advanced (e.g.,
Global Technosciences, Environment and Culture, Security and
Globalization) section of  STG. Finally, the candidate will be
expected to offer a significant contribution to one of the three areas
of concentration: Global Management, Globalization and the
Environment; Globalization and Security. The candidate should bring a
new dimension to the already existing structure of STG by means of
innovative course development and research.  We encourage cross
disciplinary work that may include a candidate who works between
security and the environment, management and the environment, or
security and management. The ideal candidate will have a record or
show promise of significant research and grant writing ability. We
encourage interested candidates to look at our web page to have a
closer look at the course offerings, industry connections, current
faculty, and international programs
