[ES_JOBS_NET] Two tenure-track assistant professor positions at Boston University: Remote sensing and Human dimensions of climate change

[Diane Thompson]

Dear ESWN,

The department of Earth and Environment at Boston University invites
applicants for two tenure-track assistant professor positions, one in
remote sensing and one in the human dimensions of climate change (see below
for more details).

Best regards,
Diane

Remote Sensing: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6256

The Department of Earth & Environment <http://www.bu.edu/earth/> at Boston
University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in
remote sensing, beginning on July 1, 2016. We seek candidates that build
upon and expand our existing remote sensing group, which is focused in the
optical domain. We welcome applicants with expertise in any domain of
remote sensing, but encourage applications from candidates with expertise
in active or passive microwave, InSAR, LiDAR, thermal, or hyperspectral
remote sensing, including airborne remote sensing from aircraft or unmanned
aerial vehicles. The scientific focus for this position is open, and
includes any thematic area related to physical, chemical or biological
function of the earth system, including processes in oceans, the
atmosphere, or on land. We particularly welcome candidates whose expertise
complements our growing program in climate change science. Opportunities
exist for collaboration in many domains, including land change science,
natural resource management, crustal and land surface processes,
terrestrial ecology, hydrology, and marine sciences.

The successful applicant will be expected to supervise graduate research in
Ph.D. programs, teach at all levels in the Earth & Environment curriculum,
and maintain an externally funded research program. We seek applicants
whose research complement strengths in the Department and around the
University. For more information about the Department, see http://www.bu.edu
/earth. A Ph.D. at the time of appointment is required.


Please apply online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6256,
including a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, a statement of research and
teaching interests, and the names and addresses of at least three referees.
Should you have questions about the position, please feel free to contact
Mark Friedl, Search Committee Chair, Department of Earth and Environment,
Boston University, 685 Commonwealth Ave, Boston MA 02215; email: earth at bu.
edu. Review of applications will begin on Nov 10, 2015. Women and
underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply.

Human Dimensions: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6257



The Department of Earth & Environment
<https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/%E2%80%9Dwww.bu.edu/earth%E2%80%9D>
invites applicants for a tenure-track assistant professor position focusing
on the nexus of human activity and global change, beginning on July 1,
2016. We seek a social scientist whose research and teaching apply theory
and methods to enhance understanding of the coupling between human and
natural systems typified by the energy-water-land nexus and the
climate-water-agriculture nexus. Our interest is in scholars who are
rigorously quantitative and who can integrate additional qualitative or
mixed-methods approaches into their research. We are particularly looking
for demonstrated potential for interdisciplinary collaboration—particularly
with natural scientists—and complementarity with the department's strengths
in energy and environmental analysis, integrated assessment modeling,
remote sensing and GIS, and biogeosciences.


The successful applicant will be expected to develop a strong research
program, supervise Ph.D. students, and teach in the department's
undergraduate and graduate programs. Myriad opportunities for collaboration
exist on campus, including the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies
and associated regional centers, Center for Remote Sensing, Questrom School
of Business, and Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer Range Future.
For more information about the Department, see http://www.bu.edu/earth. A Ph.D.
at the time of appointment is required.


Please apply online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6257.
Applications should include (1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a cover letter (3)
a statement outlining synergies between the applicant's research and
teaching and ongoing activities within the Department, (3) one
representative publication, and (4) names and contact information of at
least three referees. Should you have questions about the position, please
feel free to contact Ian Sue Wing, Search Committee Chair, Dept. of Earth
and Environment, Boston University, 685 Commonwealth Ave, Boston MA 02215;
email: earth at bu.edu. Review of applications begins November 15, 2015. Women
and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
