Faculty Position in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering at the
University of Michigan
The Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering in the College of Engineering at
the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track
faculty position. Applicants at all ranks will be considered. We welcome applicants working on
tropical meteorology, extreme weather, data assimilation and the weather-climate continuum, as
well as applicants working at the interface between engineering and science applications.
Applicants whose research emphasizes instrumentation, field observations, large-scale
computing or big data analysis are all welcomed to apply. Exceptional applicants in other areas
of the atmospheric sciences will also be considered.
The successful candidate is expected to (1) develop a widely recognized and externally funded
research program, (2) supervise graduate students in research and (3) participate in the teaching
mission of the Department and the College at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Interest in developing collaborative relationships in research and teaching with other departments
and colleges in the University is strongly encouraged. A PhD in a subject related to climate
sciences or other relevant disciplines in science or engineering is required. Applications should
include a cover letter, CV, research and teaching statements, and a list of at least four references.
For full consideration applications in a single PDF file should be received before December 8th,
2016. Applications and questions concerning this position should be directed to
claspsearch at umich.edu<mailto:claspsearch at umich.edu> or the search committee chair Prof. Xianglei Huang
(xianglei at umich.edu<mailto:xianglei at umich.edu>).
Formerly known as the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences, the
department changed to the current name in 2015 in order to better communicate the broad scope
and depth of research, teaching and service in the department and to emphasize its connection to
the College of Engineering. The department currently consists of 27 tenured or tenure-track
faculty and 125 graduate students with annual research expenditures of $52.2 million in 2016. It
offers an exciting research and teaching environment with wide scope and rich expertise within
the Department as well as diversified interdisciplinary opportunities within the University. A
recent highlight from the department is the incoming launch of the first NASA Earth-Venture
Mission, CYGNSS (Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System), which is led by our faculty
member and aims to improve extreme weather prediction. Research conducted within the
Department covers radiation and climate, remote sensing, atmospheric dynamics and numerical
methods, carbon cycle science, atmospheric chemistry and air pollution, aerosol-cloud-climate
interactions, as well as mesosphere-to-ionosphere coupling, heliophysics, space weather, and
planetary science. Strong expertise exists in instrumentation, numerical simulations, as well as
theoretical studies. In addition to the regular PhD program, the department also offers Master of
Engineering programs in Applied Climate and Space Engineering.

Thank you,
