RIO seeks research advisors (faculty director appointments) for Sustainability 91Ҹ Initiative
The newly established Sustainability 91Ҹ Initiative (SRI) at CU 91Ҹ—a collaborative effort across colleges, the 91Ҹ & Innovation Office, and the Provost—is seeking to build an advisory committee of 4-6 sustainability researchers who will help elevate SRI as a new initiative and serve as thought partners and impact amplifiers.
Advisors will work with the executive director to identify initial thematic areas and serve as connectors and ambassadors for the SRI across campus. Appointment selection will be based on a combination of factors to ensure the advisory committee brings together a diversity of sustainability research experience and engagement with the research community across campus. Advisors will meet with the executive director multiple times per month, and will be expected to both advise on and help execute some aspect of SRI’s initial strategy.
This is a one-year appointment compensated at a flat rate of $10,000 per year, under the“Faculty Director” job code. The opportunity is open to tenured or tenure-track faculty and research faculty currently employed by CU 91Ҹ. The appointments can berenewed for up to three terms, with each term following the academic year.
