PROFESSOR

Wyoming Excellence Chair in Climate Science - #4547



Department: Atmospheric Science



The Department of Atmospheric Science at the University of Wyoming seeks a distinguished scientist for the Wyoming Excellence Chair in Climate Science, funded through the Excellence in Higher Education endowment of the State of Wyoming. In addition to an having an earned Ph.D. in atmospheric science or a closely related field, the successful candidate will have demonstrated a high level of accomplishment and leadership in his/her area of specialization, and will be eligible for a faculty appointment in the Department of Atmospheric Science at the rank of full professor, or associate professor for a person with compelling evidence of potential for rapid advancement. Scientists without previous university experience but with a demonstrated commitment to, and potential for, effective teaching in a university setting are welcome to apply.



The successful candidate will build upon existing strengths at the University of Wyoming that aim to promote a deeper understanding of some of the physical, chemical, biological, and human interactions that influence climate. We seek candidates with an established, highly productive research program that emphasizes the improvement of climate models, particularly those that address regional scale issues. Applicants whose focus and modeling expertise create linkages to observational studies are encouraged to apply, with some preference given to those whose research improves the ability of models to simulate cloud and precipitation processes, thereby facilitating the examination of climate change impacts on the water resources of the Rocky Mountain region.
