Job Description

We are currently recruiting Professors of Practice in Environmental Science, with expertise in one or more of the following fields of study: environmental physics, environmental health and justice, soil science, and reclamation of impacted lands.  All these new hires will be located at the Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University (NWAFU) Microcampus B.S. program in Environmental Science in Yangling, China. 

The University of Arizonas (UA) International Office and the Department of Environmental Science (ENVS) entered into an agreement with NWAFU to develop and offer a microcampus B.S. degree program in Environmental Science at NWAFU that was initiated in September 2020.

This UA International microcampus program is delivered by six UA faculty “on the ground” at NWAFU in Yangling. The program includes 60 units of coursework taught by UA Faculty (in English), providing the core Environmental Science curriculum. The remaining ca. 105 units (prerequisites, general education classes, and elective courses) will be offered by NWAFU faculty. The program will lead to a joint UA-NWAFU degree, including a B.S. in Environmental Science from UA.

It is located in Yangling, a beautiful town of 300,000 people, located 50 miles west of (and connected by high-speed train to) the provincial capital city Xian, the oldest prefecture capital in China, and home to 12 million people.
