<p><b>Description:</b></p>
<p>The Department of Geography in the College of Arts
and Sciences at The Ohio State University seeks an
outstanding candidate for the Max Thomas
professorship in meteorology/climatology, to
commence autumn semester 2017. The successful
candidate will be a scholar with demonstrated
ability to sustain a strong, externally funded
research program, advise students and teach courses
such as dynamics, synoptic meteorology, weather
forecasting and related themes in support of our
atmospheric sciences program (BS-MS-PhD). This
position is partially funded by the Max Thomas
endowment to be known as the Max Thomas Professor in
an appropriate specialty.</p>
<p>This position requires a collaborative researcher
capable of developing a research program based on
the innovative use of the techniques and models in
atmospheric science. There is a strong expectation
that the scholar will engage in quantitative
research and collaborate broadly across disciplines,
departments and colleges. Successful applicants must
provide evidence of a competitive record of
publication and the ability to conduct and fund an
active research program involving one or more of the
following: weather forecasting, extreme weather and
climate, climate system modeling, model output
downscaling, multiplatform satellite observation
synthesis, and data mining of climate and/or weather
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.</p>
<p><b>Qualifications:</b></p>
<p>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 graduate and undergraduate
supervision and instruction. Appointment is
contingent on the university's verification of
credentials and other information required by law
and/or university policies, including but not
limited to a criminal background check.</p>
