      Position Details

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

The University of Washington (UW) seeks to expand its current expertise 
in regional climate modeling, with an emphasis on processes studies 
related to climate variability and climate change. In pursuit of this 
goal, the Department of Atmospheric Sciences invites applications for a 
full-time, 9-month (100% FTE), multi-year faculty position that may be 
filled as Assistant Professor (0116) or Associate Professor (0102), or 
as Associate Professor Tenure Track (0109) to begin Autumn 2016.

We anticipate the successful candidate’s research will focus on earth 
system processes on a regional scale that advances our understanding of 
climate variability and climate change. The method of study should 
include traditional and novel methods for analyses of modeling, 
observations and theory. Examples of areas of emphasis could include, 
but are not limited to land-atmosphere interaction, including drought, 
extreme events, and impacts on agriculture; seasonal to interannual 
climate predictability, including impacts on terrestrial and marine 
ecosystems; and climate-ecology interaction, including fire and its 
implications. All regions are potentially of interest, including the 
western US. The appointment will be in the Department of Atmospheric 
Sciences and the candidate will be expected to help shape and take a 
leading role in the emerging Regional Climate Center at the University 
of Washington.

The Department of Atmospheric Sciences resides in the 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 ecology, biology, geology, 
oceanography, hydrology, economics, and environmental policy. All UW 
faculty engage in 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 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 
(seewww.engr.washington.edu/advance), the UW provides a wide range of 
networking, mentoring and development opportunities for faculty.

A Ph.D. or foreign equivalent 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
