At the School of Human Ecology, we pursue research that transforms lives and advances the well-being of children, families, consumers, and communities. As part of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, we’re deeply committed to the Wisconsin Idea, a core belief that says our education must extend beyond classroom walls and create lasting impacts. We’re investing in faculty whose scholarship promotes human thriving, who aspire to push boundaries with colleagues and students within state-of-the-art research facilities, and who cultivate strong partnerships to shape a better, more equitable future.

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.”
