<div>Open Rank Faculty Position in the Department of
Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences at the University of
Michigan</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences
(AOSS) in the College of Engineering at the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor invites applications for an open rank,
tenure or tenure-track faculty position. We welcome applicants
who are working in the intersections between the physically
based understandings, monitoring, or predictions of global or
regional climate changes and the implications of such changes
for water, energy, or other socio-economic policies.
Applicants working on physical, chemical, or biogeochemical
aspects of these issues are all encouraged to apply. Relevant
areas are, but not limited to, (1) understanding, quantifying,
and reducing parametric and structural uncertainties in earth
system modeling for improving climate projections, (2)
understanding extreme weather events or other
low-probability-high-impact events in the context of future
climate change and improving the assessment of their
social-economic impacts, (3) climate variability and its
impact on regional water and energy policies, (4) climate
monitoring for climate policy needs and policy evaluations.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This position was awarded to the Department under the
Interdisciplinary Faculty Cluster Hire initiative of the
University. The Cluster Hire includes one other position in
the School of Natural Resources and the Environment with a
focus on Modeling and Assessment of Climate Change and
Impacts. Successful candidates will work in their primary
disciplinary area but will ideally also contribute to the
development of greater cohesion among the diverse group of
faculty with relevant research interest across the entire
university.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The successful candidate will be expected to (1) develop a
widely recognized and externally funded research program, (2)
supervise graduate students in research and (3) participate in
the teaching mission of the Department and the College at both
the graduate and undergraduate levels. Candidates capable of
developing collaborative relationships in research and
teaching are of particular interest. A PhD in a subject of
climate sciences or relevant discipline is required.
Applications should include a cover letter, CV, research and
teaching statements, and a list of at least four references.
For full consideration applications in a single PDF file
should be received before December 1st, 2012.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Applications and questions concerning this position should
be directed to <a moz-do-not-send="true"

The AOSS department currently consists of 24 tenure or
tenure-track faculty and 132 graduate students with annual
research expenditures of about $20 million. It offers an
exciting research and teaching environment with wide scope and
rich expertise within the Department as well as diversified
interdisciplinary opportunities within the University.
Research conducted within the Department covers glaciology,
atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, air
pollution, aerosol-cloud-climate interactions, radiative
transfer and remote sensing, as well as upper atmospheric
physics, mesosphere-to-ionosphere coupling, and space weather.
Strong expertise exists in instrumentation and observation,
numerical simulations, as well as theoretical studies. In
addition to the regular PhD program, the AOSS department also
offers Master of Engineering programs in Applied Climate and
Space Engineering. The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor has
19 schools and colleges in total. AOSS faculty have ongoing
collaborations with researchers and faculty in many other
nationally top-ranked programs within the University,
including other engineering departments, the School of Nature
Resources and the Environment, Earth and Environmental
Sciences, the School of Public Health, School of Information,
and the Ross School of Business.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The College is especially interested in qualified
candidates who can contribute, through their research,
teaching, and service, to the diversity and excellence of the
academic community. Women, minorities, individuals with
disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply. The
University is also responsive to the needs of dual career
couples. The University is a non-discriminatory, affirmative
action Employer.</div>
