We seek a colleague committed to excellence in undergraduate teaching, who will provide a balance of classroom, field, and laboratory experiences for our students, and develop a vibrant and productive research program that engages undergraduates. We are particularly interested in candidates who take an interdisciplinary approach to climate science, and who will be likely to develop research and teaching collaborations across departmental boundaries.</p><p style="box-sizing:inherit;border:0px;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;color:rgb(55,55,55);font-size:14px">The successful candidate will teach three courses per year (lectures plus labs). Teaching responsibilities are likely to include an introductory course in weather and climate, as well as higher-level courses based on the candidate’s interests. Examples of such courses include, but are not limited to: climate system analysis and prediction; physical climatology; climate and society; hydroclimatology; applied climatology; climate engineering; climate dynamics; economics of climate change; statistical analysis of climatologic data; GIS/remote sensing; environmental management; climate and policy; cryosphere-climate interaction; or energy and the environment. Faculty have broad latitude in developing their own courses and we welcome ideas from candidates for ways in which they might develop courses that would cross traditional disciplinary lines and build dynamic intellectual bridges between Geosciences and other departments.</p><p style="box-sizing:inherit;border:0px;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;color:rgb(55,55,55);font-size:14px">The Geosciences Department (<a href="https://web.williams.edu/Geoscience/" style="box-sizing:inherit;border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(135,78,16)">web.williams.edu/Geoscience/</a>) is committed to providing excellent training for future geoscientists, as well as teaching earth science as part of a balanced liberal arts education.

The College is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the growing diversity of the academic community through their teaching, scholarship and service.
