[ES_JOBS_NET] Tenure-Track Faculty Position in the Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

Data Science in Oceanography spans disciplines from climate science to
molecular
biology. Its integration into Oceanography has the potential to change
conventional 
research approaches by combining emerging data analytics technology with
high-
resolution and multidisciplinary ocean-related datasets. 

 

We seek an interdisciplinary early career scholar with a record of active
research and publication in the area of Ocean Data Science to join the
Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University at the rank of
tenure-track Assistant Professor. We expect this individual to play an
active role in strengthening our existing interdisciplinary research
programs by nucleating new research initiatives that utilize data analytics,
information processing, and/or high
performance computing to address problems in Oceanographic research. In
addition to
collaborations within the Department of Oceanography, the newly established
Texas
A&M Institute of Data Science (TAMIDS) (https://tamids.tamu.edu) provides an
excellent platform to launch new Data Science related research
collaborations. We
welcome applicants with any disciplinary specialty in Ocean Data Science
application
and technology, including biological oceanography, ocean remote sensing,
ocean and
climate modeling, and others.


Applicants should have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) and at least 5 years of
research experience
in Ocean Data Science application and technology. Candidates for this
position should
submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and the names of three
confidential
references to http://apply.interfolio.com/62774. Review of applications will
begin on
September 1, 2019 and continue until the position is filled.


The Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University, located in College
Station,
Texas is part of an alliance of Ocean Sciences that includes the Marine
Biology and
Marine Sciences Departments at TAMU Galveston, the Geochemical and
Environmental
Research Group, the International Ocean Discovery Program, and Texas Sea
Grant. This
alliance of Ocean Sciences represents a unique concentration of educational
and research
resources. The capacity is greatly enhanced by close ties to the College of
Geosciences
Departments of Atmospheric Sciences, Geography, and Geology & Geophysics, as
well
as the Berg Hughes Center, the Texas Center for Climate Studies and the
International
Laboratory for High-Resolution Earth System Prediction. The Department web
