<p><b>Assistant Professor of Earth System Science (tenure
track): Hydrological and Climate Extremes</b></p>
<p>The Department of Earth System Science (ESS) at the
University of California, Irvine invites applications for a
tenure-track faculty position focused on the predictive
understanding of changing hydrological and climate extremes.
These extremes are unusual events that inflict
disproportionate damage to ecosystems and society including
floods, droughts, heat waves, cold extremes, hurricanes,
atmospheric rivers, wildfires, and intense air pollution
episodes. Identifying the contribution of climate change to
the frequency, intensity and behavior of individual events, as
well as the aggregated statistics of multiple events, is a
field of science that is increasingly shaping the public’s
perception of climate change. We welcome applications from
researchers who are using a range of approaches, including
observational analysis, dynamical theory, machine learning,
statistical modeling, and dynamical and fully coupled Earth
system models to study changing hydrological and climate
extremes, with an emphasis on creating new knowledge about the
basic mechanisms that will enable a predictive understanding
of these phenomena and their impacts on human and natural
systems. UC Irvine’s ESS department was founded to explore the
global environmental changes that occur on human time scales.
The department has 24 full time faculty from diverse
backgrounds (<a href="http://www.ess.uci.edu/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ess.uci.edu/</a>).
The successful applicant will have a strong research agenda, a
commitment to excellence in teaching and in promoting
diversity and inclusion in a collegial, cross-disciplinary
department.<br>
The University of California, Irvine is an Equal Opportunity
/Affirmative Action Employer and strives to be a national
leader and global model of inclusive excellence (<a
href="https://inclusion.uci.edu/" rel="nofollow">https://inclusion.uci.edu/</a>).
UCI is a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and an Asian
American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving
Institution (AANAPISI). We seek faculty who are committed to
diversity as well as diverse faculty who will be role models
for our students. All qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national
origin, disability, age, protected veteran status, or other
protected categories covered by the UC nondiscrimination
policy. A recipient of an NSF ADVANCE award for gender equity,
UCI is responsive to the needs of dual career couples,
supports work-life balance through an array of family-friendly
policies, and is dedicated to broadening participation in
higher education. Compensation is competitive, and includes
priority access to purchase on-campus faculty housing at
below-market prices. The area offers numerous recreational and
cultural opportunities, and one of the highest-ranked public
school systems in the nation.</p>
<p>Candidates must have a doctoral degree. Apply online at <a
