KU is determined to take an active role in creating a sustainable environment and making affordable energy more available. As we strive to be good stewards of our environment, we are working on both the global and local level on advances that will promote economic growth, create new sources of energy, conserve resources, and more.

Specifically, the University of Kansas is interested in:

• Climate scientists
• Social scientists and environmental scientists studying impacts of climate change on economic systems and landscape dynamics
• Alternative power and transportation scientists with a multidisciplinary focus, as well as senior managers employed by the U.S. Department of Energy multi-purpose national laboratories

In an effort to build stronger communities that provide better opportunities to everyone, KU strives to identify obstacles to human rights and development and to find sustainable solutions to these problems. Already, we are researching migration patterns to be better informed of the dynamics behind the development of civic communities. We are studying the economic, educational, social, public health, and developmental problems facing America's children. We are focusing on ways to strengthen our cities and build stronger leaders.

As a part of this effort, KU is searching for research faculty, particularly as we create a Joint Center on Inequality and Social Justice.

Innovation in an array of areas is critical to our future, which is why KU is dedicated to harnessing information in ways that will positively affect individuals' health and well-being while also protecting their privacy and security. Today, KU research is helping create advances in digital technology, nanotechnology, infrastructure, and more.

Our goal is to push our research even further by hiring faculty who:

• Are highly experienced in scientific computing; handling and processing massive data; and scientific visualization
• Will allow us to expand upon our existing expertise for information privacy, social media, and ethics
• Have a well-rounded expertise of all avenues of information technologies
