information. Other desirable research and teaching specialties might 
include ecological modeling; climate change adaptation or response; and 
remote sensing of land surfaces at regional to global scales.

A Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences, meteorology, physical geography or a 
closely related field is required. All applicants are expected to have 
very strong and fundable research programs and to contribute to both
