About the Institution

UMCES is Maryland’s graduate university for the environment and one of the twelve institutions of the University System of Maryland (USM). Maryland’s people and environments are diverse, including urban-to-rural and mountains-to-sea gradients. The UMCES mission includes advancing world-class fundamental and applied research, promoting graduate-level education, furthering community engagement and science application, and providing scientific expertise for environmental policies on topics such as air, land, water, and wildlife management in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and beyond. UMCES scientists are developing solutions to help guide our state, nation, and world toward a more environmentally sustainable and equitable future through six highly collaborative, distributed research centers—Appalachian Laboratory, Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, Horn Point Laboratory, Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology, Integration and Application Network, and Maryland Sea Grant College. AL is the terrestrial and freshwater anchor of research at UMCES, and collaborations across disciplines and geographies are common among UMCES faculty. As a comparatively small, independent research and education university within a sizable, highly respected public higher education system, UMCES has both flexibility and excellent institutional support to continue to play an outsized role in environmental research, education, and problem-solving. 

The selected candidate will be required to review and accept the UMCES Principles of Conduct.
