<h3>Position Details</h3>
<hr>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.engr.washington.edu/advance">www.engr.washington.edu/advance</a>),
the UW provides a wide range of networking, mentoring and
development opportunities for faculty.</p>
<p>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:
