[ES_JOBS_NET] Assistant Professor of Physical Oceanography - Western Washington University

[Alia Lauren Khan]

*Assistant Professor of Marine and Coastal Science*

*Western Washington University*



The Department of Environmental Sciences and the Marine and Coastal Science
(MACS) program at Western Washington University (WWU) invite applications
for a tenure-track, assistant professor position in Marine and Coastal
Science, beginning Fall 2020.

Western Washington University, with over 16,000 students in seven colleges
and the graduate school, is nationally recognized for its educational
programs, students and faculty. The campus is located in Bellingham,
Washington, a coastal community of 83,000 overlooking Bellingham Bay, the
San Juan Islands and the Cascade mountain range. The city lies 90 miles
north of Seattle, 60 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia, and 45
miles NW of Shannon Point Marine Center (SPMC), the teaching and research
facility located in Anacortes, WA.

The Marine and Coastal Science program (https://marine.wwu.edu) brings
together faculty, staff, and students from three academic departments
housed in two colleges, in addition to Western’s marine laboratory, the
Shannon Point Marine Center. The MACS academic program is based on the main
campus in Bellingham, with opportunities for research activities,
short-term residential experiences, and regular weekly meetings of some
courses at the Shannon Point Marine Center in Anacortes.  The cohort-based
program of study provides a strong foundation in basic science, broad
knowledge of marine systems, and opportunities for interdisciplinary,
hands-on study.

We seek applicants whose research and teaching focus on one of two main
areas.  (1) *Physical oceanography and transport*, examining circulation
and ocean transport processes including tides, freshwater input, and
winds.  Specific domains could include bio-physical interactions,
biogeochemical fluxes, or transport of materials such as pollutants,
sediments, or plankton.  (2) *Ocean-climate interactions*, examining ocean
dynamics, global change, and how the coast, atmosphere, and ocean
interact.  The applicant may approach this through a focus on transfer of
heat, gases, or particles in the context of coastal or ocean dynamics, or
through examination of climate effects on biogeochemical cycles.

We seek candidates who are committed to a multidisciplinary approach to
scholarship and teaching and who can teach courses in introductory marine
science, upper-level marine physical processes, and quantitative methods or
modeling, as well as develop specialty elective courses.  Teaching
assignments for this position will be distributed evenly between
environmentally-oriented courses offered in Environmental Sciences and
interdisciplinary marine science courses offered in MACS.

Application review begins January 21, 2020; position is open until filled.
