<p class="Default"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Position Description: </span>
</b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Department of Geography at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for an Assistant Professor level tenure-track position in Geographic Information Science (GIScience) with specific focus on environmental
or social applications of Spatial Data Science, beginning in August 2020. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We seek candidates whose work advances the frontiers of spatiotemporal analytics and geographic data science in creative and novel ways to drive emerging questions involving change and dynamics, and in the interplay
between human and environmental systems, as related to natural hazards or climate, natural or human resources, public health, demography, urbanization, or other questions at the nexus of human-natural dimensions of environmental change. The successful candidate
has a strong foundation in GIScience, current and emerging methods in statistics, data science, and/or machine learning, and can demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary research in and beyond the geographical sciences.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Department of Geography sponsors a vital undergraduate certificate in GIS and Computational Science in collaboration with the Computer Science Department. The Department also plays a key role in Earth Lab,
a synthesis center for Earth systems research that aims to accelerate data-driven discovery (</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#0462C1">https://www.colorado.edu/earthlab/</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">), with a strong focus on leveraging remotely-sensed
geospatial data. Interest in spatiotemporal analysis, dynamic modeling, data science and computational GIScience is high across the College of Arts & Sciences and campus as a whole. The ideal candidate will be motivated to interact with colleagues across a
broad array of disciplines. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As part of the normal three courses per year teaching expectation, the successful candidate will rotate regularly into three existing courses: Introductory GIScience, Basic Statistics and Advanced Quantitative
Methods at least every other year. The candidate will teach an upper division elective in spatiotemporal analysis for undergraduate and graduate students. The candidate will also regularly teach a graduate level seminar on a research topic of their choosing
and congruent with student demand and department needs. There is also the potential to align teaching with an interdisciplinary professional certificate / degree in Earth Data Analytics blending data science and Earth systems knowledge, which is run through
Earth Lab. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This is a full-time, nine-month position. Research and service to the university are also components of the regular workload for all faculty. All requirements for the Ph.D. in Geography or a cognate discipline,
else in Computer Science or in Informatics with demonstrated relevance to spatial data and spatial analysis must be completed by August 2020. Applications are accepted electronically at

the names and e-mail addresses of three professional references. The search committee will solicit letters from these individuals. Applications received by 15 October 2019 will receive full consideration; and the review of applications will continue until
the position is filled. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity
employer, and we encourage applications from women, racial and ethnic minorities, individuals with disabilities and veterans. Alternative formats of this ad can be provided upon request
