[Oppslist] Endowed Chair in Atmosphere-Biosphere Interactions

[Bart Geerts]

Wyoming Excellence Chair in Atmosphere-Biosphere Interaction 

The Departments of Atmospheric Science and Renewable Resources at the
University of Wyoming seek a distinguished scholar for the new Wyoming
Excellence Chair in Atmosphere-Biosphere Interaction.  This endowed
position will be filled at the rank of associate or full professor.  The
successful candidate will have an earned PhD degree in atmospheric or
life sciences, and should be eligible for appointment with tenure in the
Department of Atmospheric Science.  Candidates with an internationally
recognized research program focused on processes controlling
atmosphere-biosphere interaction are invited to apply.  Preference will
be given to those involved with data, ranging from measurements in the
field to data assimilation into climate models linking the atmosphere to
terrestrial ecosystems.  The successful candidate will be expected to
maintain an active research program, advise graduate students, manage a
research team, and develop courses such as climate-ecology interaction,
surface flux processes and measurements, or climate change dynamics.
The position includes a very attractive start-up package and access to a
suite of research facilities, including an NSF-supported King Air
research aircraft, the Stable Isotope Facility, the Environmental
Simulation Laboratory, the W. M. Keck Aerosol Laboratory, and the Elk
Mountain Observatory.

The University of Wyoming has strong research programs in atmospheric
and terrestrial (land surface) sciences and a successful
cross-disciplinary doctoral Program in Ecology (PiE).  It is forging new
ties with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) through
joint supercomputing endeavors.  The successful candidate is expected to
interact with faculty and students in PiE and with NCAR scientists.
