Job description

Description
SCRIPPS COLLEGE
CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA 91711
FLETCHER JONES FOUNDATION SCHOLAR IN COMPUTATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
BEGINNING ACADEMIC YEAR 2026-27
Scripps College, a women's liberal arts college with a strong interdisciplinary tradition, invites applications for the Fletcher Jones Foundation Scholar in Computation to begin in the 2026-27 academic year. We are looking for a scholar whose expertise in computational modeling or forecasting, GIS, and/or machine learning is combined with expertise in environmental geography, environmental policy, environmental humanities, environmental economics, or environmental arts. We value interdisciplinary approaches to teaching and research, and we are interested in candidates who can engage our students in small classroom settings and supervise undergraduate research.
The teaching load is four courses annually plus senior thesis advising. The Chair will teach introductory-level computer/data science and upper-division classes within their discipline that are also intended to count towards the Computer/Data Science and/or Environmental Analysis majors and minors housed at The Claremont Colleges Consortium, of which Scripps College is a member. The candidate should have a PhD and/or MFA in hand by January 1, 2026, in any non-natural science field with emphasis on Environmental Studies and demonstrable expertise in computation.
This position is non-tenure track and is renewable after 3 years for a maximum term of 6 years. Teaching experience and scholarly production are required. The salary for this position will range from $87,734 to $97,482 and will be set based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to internal equity, experience, education, specialty, and training. In light of recent federal updates to visa processing and associated costs, the College is generally not in a position to sponsor visas for faculty appointments.
Candidates should submit the following materials on Interfolio: a CV, a cover letter, a statement of teaching philosophy that includes how the candidate will contribute to the College's mission of innovative education for all students, an article-length writing sample or creative piece, and names and contact information for three references. Semi-finalists will be asked to submit evidence of the ability to effectively teach and mentor all our students regardless of their experience; three letters of recommendation; and, potentially, additional research materials.
For more information, please contact FJFComputationScholar@scrippscollege.edu. Review of applications will begin on Friday, December 5, 2025 and continue until the position is filled.
Scripps College is one of seven members of The Claremont Colleges Consortium located 35 miles east of Los Angeles. In keeping with its ongoing commitment to build and support a inclusive academic community, Scripps College seeks applicants who will actively support Scripps College's Principles of Community and Institutional Values.
