Job Title: Assistant or Associate Professor – Coastal Social Sciences

Department: Department of Coastal Studies

Job Duties      

The Department of Coastal Studies at East Carolina University is seeking applicants for a tenure-track, nine-month faculty position beginning August 2026. We are looking for a social scientist with an active, interdisciplinary research program focusing on coastal and marine environmental issues including, but not limited to fisheries, aquaculture, ocean renewable energy, climate change, ocean governance, marine spatial planning, blue carbon, and similar research areas. This tenure-track position is part of a major ECU investment in research and teaching programs focused on natural, social, physical, and engineered dimensions of ocean margins.

This position is research intensive, and the successful candidate is expected to conduct research on the human dimensions of coastal or lacustrine environments, secure extramural funding, and publish in high-impact journals. The annual teaching load for this position is a 1-1, which includes one graduate course on interdisciplinary theories in the ECU Integrated Coastal Sciences (ICS) PhD program and one high-enrollment undergraduate course in economics, geography, anthropology, coastal studies or similar courses in the College of Arts and Sciences. Additional duties include mentoring of ICS PhD students, postdoctoral scholars, undergraduate students, interns, and master students as part of an active research lab and service to the students, university, community, and profession. This position is an opportunity to be part of an exciting and dynamic environment in a collaborative, interdisciplinary department.

The candidate can be based either in Greenville or the Coastal Studies Institute in the Outer Banks.

East Carolina University is a Doctoral University with high research activity. We are also a teaching institution that is renowned for academic excellence. As an R1 university, we make a significant investment in faculty research by providing support related to travel, technology, research databases, and development. We are one of the largest universities in North Carolina with almost 27,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

The Department of Coastal Studies (DCS) (https://coastal.ecu.edu/coastalstudies/) was formed in 2018 as part of an initiative to link the ECU main campus in Greenville with the expansion of its Outer Banks campus, the Coastal Studies Institute (CSI), near Manteo, NC (https://www.coastalstudiesinstitute.org/).Led by East Carolina University (ECU), CSI is a multi-institutional research and educational partnership of the UNC System including North Carolina State University, UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC Wilmington, and Elizabeth City State University. CSI has active collaborations with North Carolina Aquariums, the National Park Service, and the UNC Sea Grant College Program.

The Department of Coastal Studies coordinates and enhances research communities across ECU’s Greenville campuses, the Outer Banks campus, and our partner Institutions, and provides ECU with a strong center and point of contact to expand its leadership role in addressing interdisciplinary coastal and marine issues. Existing DCS faculty have expertise in Applied Geography, Coastal Engineering, Remote Sensing, Coastal Ecology, Water Resources, Physical Oceanography, Fisheries, and Ocean Governance.

FY25 Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program

https://grants.gov/search-results-detail/356578

To apply, each applicant must: be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or a citizen of a U.S. territory (as defined by 16 U.S.C. 6602(9)); pursue or intend to pursue a masters or doctoral level degree in oceanography, maritime archaeology or marine biology, including all science, engineering and resource management of ocean and coastal areas (or related areas), at a U.S. accredited graduate institution; have and maintain a minimum cumulative and term grade point average of 3.30 or higher*; and maintain full-time student status, as defined by the university that the scholar is attending, for the duration of the scholarship award. *Scholars must maintain a minimum cumulative and term GPA of 3.30 for every term and for the duration of their award. If an applicant does not maintain this GPA, they will be placed on probation for one term following the term in which the 3.3 GPA was not maintained. If the GPA is not brought up within the probationary term, the recipient’s scholarship may be terminated. In addition, satisfactory progress must be made toward the completion of a thesis or dissertation. If it is determined that the scholar will not complete their thesis or dissertation prior to the end of the award, funding may be withdrawn. Individuals who already receive NOAA or federal funding from grants or scholarships for graduate school are not eligible to receive the Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship. If a student is willing to turn down the other federal funding, then they are eligible to receive the award. Universities or other organizations may not apply on behalf of an individual. Prospective scholars do not need to be enrolled in a graduate program at the time of application, but must be admitted to a graduate-level program in order to be awarded this scholarship. Eligibility must be maintained for each succeeding year of support, and annual reporting requirements, to be specified at a later date, will apply. Individuals who are in their last year of graduate school are unlikely to receive this award.
