Climate Science and Global Environmental Change - tenure track position "The School of Earth Sciences and Environmental Sustainability at Northern Arizona University is seeking applications from individuals with interest and expertise in climate science and its relation to global environmental change. This is a teaching, advising, research and service faculty position and is integral to continued development of the interdisciplinary PhD in Earth Sciences & Environmental Sustainability. We seek applicants who complement NAU's interdisciplinary programs in climate change and who will (1) advance new understandings of natural climate variability, (2) improve projections of climate change through increased understanding of connections between the atmosphere and hydrosphere, climate modeling, paleoclimate analysis, or related interdisciplinary fields, and (3) apply this knowledge to planning and coping with changing climate and related environmental stresses, including its impacts on ecosystems and landscapes. The successful applicant will have demonstrated success in extramurally funded research in climate science and global environmental change.
The successful candidate must have a doctorate conferred by August 18, 2014 in a field related to climate science; teaching experience at the college level; and demonstrated research experience in climate science that bridges from the past (paleo) to present (instrumental) or future (model projections) time periods. Applicants must send a letter of application describing their professional goals and how they meet the minimum and preferred qualifications, including evidence for preparedness to teach a graduate-level course in climatology. Include a curriculum vita, and contact information for three references. Electronic (pdf) applications are preferred. Send to [email protected]. For questions regarding the position, contact the Chair of the search committee ([email protected]). The position will remain open until filled. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2013.
