> applications for a tenure earning Assistant Professor in Coupled
> Ocean-Atmosphere Modeling. The Center seeks candidates with research
> interests focusing on understanding either coastal/regional phenomena
> or large-scale climate variability and predictability. Specific
> research issues could include, but are not limited to, extreme
> events, mesoscale processes, seasonal to decadal prediction, global
> climate change and its feedback on regional climates, and climate
> scale interactions of the atmosphere with terrestrial, oceanic and/or
> cryospheric processes. Candidates with multidisciplinary interests
> (biogeochemical, fisheries ecology, hydrology) are encouraged to
> apply. The successful candidate will be expected to a) conduct state
> of the art research, b) assist in developing applications based on
