Biography

After teaching appointments at the universities of Leyden (1972-1976) and Amsterdam (1976-1985) in the Netherlands, Cambridge University (1985-1995) in the UK; and the University of Paris I (Pantheon-Sorbonne) (1995-2004) in France, Sander van der Leeuw is a Foundation Professor at Arizona State University and co-director of the ASU-SFI Center for Biosocial Complex Systems.

In July 2001, Professor van der Leeuw was appointed Secretary-General of the French Conseil National de Coordination des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Societe (National Council for the Coordination of the Humanities and Social Sciences). This was followed by an appointment as Deputy Director for Social Sciences at the CNRS (2002-2003) and at the National Institute for the Sciences of the Universe, in charge of a program similar to the Long Term Ecological Research program in the US. In 2003, he was appointed chair of the Department of Anthropology at Arizona State University in the U.S., where he became Founding Director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, an interdisciplinary unit based around anthropology that focuses on some of the major challenges of the 21st century, and subsequently Chair of the Consortium for Biosocial Complex Systems and Dean of the School of Sustainability. He was an external professor at the Santa Fe Institute (USA) (2000-2019), is a correspondent of the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1995 and held a Chair at the Institut Universitaire de France (2002-2006). He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the Beijer Institute of Environmental Economic of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In 2012 he was awarded the "Champion of the Earth for Science and Innovation" prize by the United Nations Environment Program.
