[Oppslist] Assistant Professor of Environmental Science

[Sharon Neely]

Assistant Professor of Environmental Science
Colorado College Environmental Program

Colorado College seeks an atmospheric scientist for a tenure-track position in our interdisciplinary Environmental Program, to begin fall 2015. We are seeking candidates with expertise in applied atmospheric physics (including meteorology and climatology) or atmospheric chemistry.

Teaching areas will include energetics and thermodynamics, atmospheric science, introduction to global climate change, and additional courses in areas of the new faculty member's specialization. The new faculty member will be a key contributor to our Environmental Science major, but also contribute to the interdisciplinary Environmental Policy major. Colorado College is committed to increasing the diversity of the college community. Candidates who contribute to that goal, including women and minorities, are particularly encouraged to apply, and to identify relevant strengths or experiences.

Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate a commitment to and potential for excellence in teaching and scholarly research. Applicants must be committed to high quality, innovative undergraduate teaching. Colorado College uses the Block Plan, an intensive teaching schedule in which professors teach and students take only one course at a time for 3.5 weeks. The Block Plan lends itself to field and project-based teaching, and support for field trips and community-based learning projects is available through the Environmental Program.

A PhD in a relevant field is required by the time of appointment. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, research statement, graduate and undergraduate transcripts, and three letters of recommendation electronically on the Colorado College Employment Career Site: https://employment.coloradocollege.edu/. Application materials should be received by December 18, 2014.  Phone interviews will take place in the first half of January 2015, with campus interviews to follow.

As an equal opportunity employer, Colorado College welcomes applications from members of all groups and reaffirms its commitment not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, age, religion, gender identity, gender expression, disability, or sexual orientation in its educational programs and activities or employment practices.
