and Space Sciences and Engineering in the College of Engineering
at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor invites applications
for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position. Applicants at all
ranks will be considered. We welcome applicants working on
tropical meteorology, extreme weather, data assimilation and the
weather-climate continuum, as well as applicants working at the
interface between engineering and science applications. Applicants
whose research emphasizes instrumentation, field observations,
large-scale computing or big data analysis are all welcomed to
apply. Exceptional applicants in other areas of the atmospheric
sciences will also be considered.</p>

expected to (1) develop a widely recognized and externally funded
research program, (2) supervise graduate students in research and
(3) participate in the teaching mission of the Department and the
College at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Interest in
developing collaborative relationships in research and teaching
with other departments and colleges in the University is strongly
encouraged. A PhD in a subject related to climate sciences or
other relevant disciplines in science or engineering is required.
Applications should include a cover letter, CV, research and
teaching statements, and a list of at least four references. For
full consideration, applications in a single PDF file should be<strong

Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences, the
department changed to the current name in 2015 in order to better
communicate the broad scope and depth of research, teaching and
service in the department and to emphasize its connection to the
College of Engineering. The department currently consists of 27
tenured or tenure-track faculty and 125 graduate students with
annual research expenditures of $52.2 million in 2016. It offers
an exciting research and teaching environment with wide scope and
rich expertise within the Department as well as diversified
interdisciplinary opportunities within the University. A recent
highlight from the department is the incoming launch of the first
NASA Earth-Venture Mission, CYGNSS (Cyclone Global Navigation
Satellite System), which is led by our faculty member and aims to
improve extreme weather prediction. Research conducted within the
Department covers radiation and climate, remote sensing,
atmospheric dynamics and numerical methods, carbon cycle science,
atmospheric chemistry and air pollution, aerosol-cloud-climate
interactions, as well as mesosphere-to-ionosphere coupling,
heliophysics, space weather, and planetary science. Strong
expertise exists in instrumentation, numerical simulations, as
well as theoretical studies. In addition to the regular PhD
program, the department also offers Master of Engineering programs
in Applied Climate and Space Engineering.</p>
