Attached is a position description for an Assistant Professor in
Land-Atmosphere Exchanges and Mesoscale Meteorology at Utah State
University.

New Position of Assistant Professor in:
Land-Atmosphere Exchanges and Mesoscale Meteorology

Position Summary
The Dept. of Watershed Sciences, http://www.usu.edu/departments/wats, and
the Department of Plants, Soils, and Climate, http://www.psb.usu.edu, at
Utah State University, http://www.usu.edu, seek applications for a
meteorologist with research interests in integrating mesoscale atmospheric
models with land-atmosphere studies to address issues connected to
regional climate. The position will be tenured in the Department of
Watershed Sciences. The division of activities will be approximately 55%
research, 35% teaching, and 10% service. Although there is flexibility in
the research program, the successful candidate will be expected to use
state of the art atmospheric models to collaborate with USU research
faculty in areas such as biometeorology, climate, hydrology, ecology, and
soil science. Example subjects might include: interaction with scientists
to validate, and if necessary, alter the land surface routines in
atmospheric models for semi-arid regions; involvement in scaling ecosystem
fluxes at NEON/IRON sites, http://www.neoninc.org, to regional scales;
integration of surface flux measurements of hydrology-atmosphere
interactions in mountain watersheds; use of mesoscale atmospheric
processes to interpret local water and carbon
balances, and expand the processes to watershed scales; and effects of
urbanization on regional climate and air quality. The successful candidate
will have expertise in the use and modification of the newest incarnations
of mesoscale atmospheric models, as well as reasonable knowledge of
micrometeorology and biophysical processes that govern exchanges between
the land and the atmosphere.
Relevant information about current programs in Climate for both
departments is available at http://climate.usu.edu/research. Teaching
requirements include a course in the principles of remote sensing and a
course in meteorology.

Minimum Qualifications
A Ph.D. in atmospheric science or closely related discipline with evidence
of a thorough background in Meteorology; record of peer-reviewed
publication appropriate to career stage; ability to contribute to the
teaching program in remote sensing and meteorology.

Preferred Qualifications
Postdoctoral experience is desirable.

Special Instructions to Applicants
Apply online at http://jobs.usu.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=51900.
Technical questions about the position or meteorology program can be
directed to Dr. Lawrence Hipps, 435-797-2009, biomet at cc.usu.edu. The
position is open until filled but review of applications will begin March
1,

2007 Utah State University encourages applications from women and
minorities. AA/EOE.
Note: Review of applications will not begin until later in March. However,
candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
