FACULTY POSITION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON
Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

The Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) anticipates the 
availability of a tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning 
August 2006.  The department seeks energetic and creative individuals to 
develop vigorous research and teaching programs focused on the earth's 
atmosphere and oceans, including modeling, measurements, and observational 
diagnoses.

The department continues to sustain and enhance its historical strength in 
the areas of climate, remote sensing, and weather systems. The AOS 
Department is co-located with the Space Science and Engineering Center 
(SSEC), Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS), 
as well as the Center for Climate Research (CCR) and the Center for 
Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE) which are housed within 
the Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies.

Applications are encouraged from scientists representing the full spectrum 
of the atmospheric and oceanic sciences, especially those having expertise 
in one or more of the following areas: (1) observations and modeling of 
climate processes, variability, and change; (2) regional to global 
hydrological processes in the climate system; (3) ocean biogeochemical 
observations and modeling; (4) surface-atmosphere interactions and boundary 
layer processes; and (5) applications-oriented data assimilation.

Ph.D. in atmospheric and oceanic sciences or related area is required prior 
to the start of the appointment.  The primary selection criteria will be 
individual excellence in research, the ability to contribute to teaching of 
our "core" atmospheric science courses, and a strong commitment to the 
intellectual and academic vitality of the department and university as a whole.

In order to ensure full consideration, a curriculum vitae, statement of 
professional goals, and three letters of reference should be sent by 
October 15, 2005 to:
