We seek faculty in these Human Ecology research areas:
“We’re launching an ambitious, cross-school hiring initiative to elevate the School of Human Ecology’s research contributions, both in Wisconsin and beyond. Aligned with the Wisconsin RISE Initiative, this effort is about more than just hiring — it’s about fueling collaboration, driving research that matters, and expanding opportunities for our students and faculty. This is our moment to invest in people, ideas, and partnerships.”
