      Position Overview

*Organization*: Department of Atmospheric Sciences, College of the 
Environment

*Title:* Assistant Professor

*Search #:* AA3329

      Position Details

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The University of Washington seeks to expand its current expertise in 
climate dynamics.  In pursuit of this goal, the Department of 
Atmospheric Sciences invites applications for a full-time (100% FTE) 
tenure-track faculty position to begin Autumn 2013.

We anticipate the successful candidate's research will focus on climate 
dynamics: the study of earth system processes that control climate and 
how it evolves. The method of study should include traditional and novel 
methods for analyses of observations, and may include modeling and 
theory. Examples of areas of emphasis could include regional and global 
scale climate variability, the characteristics of past and future 
climates, predictability of climate on seasonal to decadal time scales, 
changes in the hydrological cycle, or climate data assimilation.

The Department of the Atmospheric Sciences resides in the newly formed 
College of the Environment, which fosters collaborations between the 
faculty, staff, and students engaged in the study of environmental 
sciences, engineering, and the human dimensions of environmental 
challenges.  This position will offer opportunities for interaction with 
researchers in a wide range of disciplines, including ecologists, 
biologists, geologists, oceanographers, hydrologists, economists, 
demographers, and policy analysts. Atmospheric Sciences faculty engage 
in undergraduate and graduate teaching, research and service. A 
willingness to work collaboratively with faculty and to mentor students 
from a wide range of disciplines, cultures, economic means, and academic 
backgrounds is essential.

The University of Washington (UW) is located in the greater Seattle 
metropolitan area, with a dynamic, multicultural community of 3.7 
million people and a range of ecosystems from mountains to ocean.  The 
UW serves a diverse population of 80,000 students, faculty and staff, 
including 25% first-generation college students, over 25% Pell Grant 
students, and faculty from over 70 countries. A recipient of the 2006 
Alfred P. Sloan Award for Faculty Career Flexibility and a National 
Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Award to 
increase the advancement of women faculty in science, engineering, and 
math (see www.engr.washington.edu/advance 
<http://www.engr.washington.edu/advance>), the UW provides a wide range 
of networking, mentoring and development opportunities for faculty.

A Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences or related field and a record of climate 
research are required.  Applicants should supply a curriculum vitae, a 
3-5 page statement of experience and interest in research teaching and 
outreach, particularly to under-served communities; and submit at least 
three letters of reference to: Professor David Battisti, Search 
Committee Chair, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of 
Washington, Box 351640, Seattle, WA 98195-1640.  Please send electronic 
submissions to Debbie Wolf at debbie at atmos.washington.edu.

before January 15, 2013.  The proposed starting date of employment is 
September 16, 2013.  The University is an affirmative action, equal 
opportunity employer. This position is contingent on the availability of
