<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking to fill three positions for a Polar Cluster Hire. These positions are part of a campus-wide cluster hiring initiative to add to the vibrant community focused
on "The Emerging Polar Regions" that would work at the intersections among earth system components (cryosphere, atmosphere/ocean, and biosphere). The cluster joins a landscape of existing--and historical--strengths in diverse aspects of polar research at UW-Madison.
Units participating in the cluster hire include: the Departments of Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences, Botany, Forest and Wildlife Ecology, Geography, Geosciences, and Integrative Biology. Tenure home will be determined at the time of hire based on the selected
candidate's qualifications and interests. Further Information regarding this initiative can be found at: https://facstaff.provost.wisc.edu/cluster-hiring-initiative.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The three new faculty members will each simultaneously accentuate existing strengths on campus while bringing their own unique expertise, thereby facilitating the research and teaching mission of the university.
Candidates are expected to develop a nationally recognized program of scholarly research; teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate level; advise and mentor undergraduate and graduate students; and contribute to local, university, and national service
as appropriate for career stage. We are particularly interested in candidates who will contribute to an inclusive environment, bring new perspectives on mentoring and educating students from diverse backgrounds, and pursue novel approaches to research. Further
information about the individual positions are available below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
