[Oppslist] Lamont Research Professors (Open Rank)

[Helen Olivette]

Hello,

Please post our advertisement for Lamont Research Professors.

*Lamont Research Professors*

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University 
anticipates appointing one or more Lamont Research Professors in the 
Earth sciences in the coming academic year. The rank of the 
appointment(s) is open and dependent on experience. Lamont Research 
Professors receive nine-month appointments with partial salary support 
provided from institutional sources. An incentive program encourages the 
establishment of a vigorous externally funded research program to 
provide the majority of salary support, including an opportunity for 
summer salary. Applicants for Associate and Full Research Professor 
ranks should have established records of innovative research of high 
impact in one or more areas of Earth science, through publications in 
peer-reviewed journals, and should have demonstrated success at raising 
external support for their research programs. Applicants for the rank of 
Assistant Research Professor should have demonstrated potential for 
significant research contributions by having published in peer-reviewed 
journals and potential for supporting their research programs with 
external funding. Candidates with strong secondary interests in science 
education and outreach are also encouraged to apply. Following the 
recent completion of an Observatory-wide strategic plan, LDEO is 
particularly interested in applicants who will expand our expertise in 
the following areas:

·Dynamics of hydrometeorological systems, particularly extreme events 
and their impacts

·Real-time observational geoscience, with an emphasis on applications of 
new sensor and information technologies to fundamental processes at all 
scales

·Dynamics and kinematics of the solid Earth, with a focus on earthquake 
and volcanic processes and associated modes of crustal deformation and 
crust-mantle coupling

·Climate and paleoclimate studies, including coupled climate, ocean, and 
terrestrial ecosystems

·Studies of the cryosphere and sea-level

Eligibility requirements include a Ph.D. in Earth and environmental 
sciences or a related field, evidence of ongoing externally funded 
research programs or potential for supporting research programs with 
external funding, and at least 2–3 years of relevant research 
experience. Salary will be commensurate with experience. All interested 
candidates should apply online at the following Quick 
Link:_https://academicjobs.columbia.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=61597_. 
Candidates should provide a CV (including a list of publications), two 
writing samples, statement of research interests, list of funded 
projects or grant applications awaiting approval, statement of science 
education and outreach interests if applicable, and the names and 
addresses of at least three references. Evaluation of applications will 
begin after 15 November 2015.
