<div style="margin: 0px;">The
Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois
welcomes applications for a full time tenure-track faculty position at
the assistant professor level beginning August 2006. Candidates with
expertise in synoptic-scale weather processes, quantitative
precipitation forecasting, mesoscale processes, data assimilation,
numerical weather prediction and computationally intensive modeling
will be given primary consideration. We especially encourage
applications from candidates with additional expertise in observational
analysis. Candidates with exceptional strengths in other areas of the
Atmospheric Sciences will also be considered. The new faculty member
will be part of the newly formed interdisciplinary Center for Water as
a Complex Environmental System (<a href="http://cwaces.geog.uiuc.edu/"><font
class="Apple-style-span" color="#0024ef">http://cwaces.geog.uiuc.edu/</font></a>
). The main focus of CWACES is on fundamental research questions
related to the hydrological cycle, and the interconnections between
society and all aspects of water-related environmental processes. </div>
