<br>
The Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences (AOSS) Department at the University of<br>
Michigan (UM) is seeking tenured or tenure-track applicants at the assistant professor or<br>
higher level for a climate/climate change or hydrosphere-atmosphere-interactions<br>
modeler.<br>
<br>
We seek applicants who are interested in the prediction of high-impact local weather<br>
events, the statistics of these events in a future climate, and/or regional-local climate<br>
predictions. The applicant would work with a team interested in the software challenges<br>
facing petascale computing efforts to enable region-local predictions. This requires a<br>
significant redesign of climate science applications, libraries, numerical methods and<br>
algorithms to reach the level of parallelism needed to fully utilize the newest generation<br>
of computer architectures. Applicants that have the potential to bridge the gap between<br>
these libraries, numerical methods and algorithms for regional-local prediction would be<br>
favored, but interest in the science of predicting regional scale extrema and events is also<br>
of interest. Applicants may be eligible for a courtesy appointment in the Computer<br>
Science division in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science.<br>
This position was awarded to AOSS under UM’s Interdisciplinary Junior Faculty Cluster<br>
Hire initiative. The Cluster Hire includes four proposed hires in the Departments of<br>
Materials Science & Engineering, Atmospheric, Oceanic & Space Sciences in<br>
collaboration with Civil & Environmental Engineering, Mathematics, and Electrical<br>
Engineering & Computer Science. Successful candidates will work in their primary<br>
disciplinary area but could also contribute to the development of high-performance<br>
computing.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will be expected to (1) develop a widely recognized research<br>
program, (2) attract external funding, (3) mentor graduate students and (4) participate in<br>
the teaching mission of the AOSS department at both the graduate and undergraduate<br>
level. Candidates capable of developing collaborative relationships in research and<br>
teaching are of particular interest. A PhD in atmospheric science, scientific computing or<br>
another relevant discipline is required. Applications should include a cover letter, CV, a<br>
concise personal statement describing the candidate’s vision for research and education,<br>
and a list of at least four references.<br>
<br>
For full consideration applications should be received before January 5, 2011. Questions<br>
concerning these positions and applications (in a single pdf file) should be directed to<br>
