*Assistant Professor of Earth System Science (tenure track): 
Hydrological and Climate Extremes*

The Department of Earth System Science (ESS) at the University of 
California, Irvine invites applications for a tenure-track faculty 
position focused on the predictive understanding of changing 
hydrological and climate extremes. These extremes are unusual events 
that inflict disproportionate damage to ecosystems and society including 
floods, droughts, heat waves, cold extremes, hurricanes, atmospheric 
rivers, wildfires, and intense air pollution episodes. Identifying the 
contribution of climate change to the frequency, intensity and behavior 
of individual events, as well as the aggregated statistics of multiple 
events, is a field of science that is increasingly shaping the public’s 
perception of climate change. We welcome applications from researchers 
who are using a range of approaches, including observational analysis, 
dynamical theory, machine learning, statistical modeling, and dynamical 
and fully coupled Earth system models to study changing hydrological and 
climate extremes, with an emphasis on creating new knowledge about the 
basic mechanisms that will enable a predictive understanding of these 
phenomena and their impacts on human and natural systems. UC Irvine’s 
ESS department was founded to explore the global environmental changes 
that occur on human time scales. The department has 24 full time faculty 
from diverse backgrounds (http://www.ess.uci.edu/). The successful 
applicant will have a strong research agenda, a commitment to excellence 
in teaching and in promoting diversity and inclusion in a collegial, 
cross-disciplinary department.
The University of California, Irvine is an Equal Opportunity 
/Affirmative Action Employer and strives to be a national leader and 
global model of inclusive excellence (https://inclusion.uci.edu/). UCI 
is a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and an Asian American and Native 
American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI). We seek 
faculty who are committed to diversity as well as diverse faculty who 
will be role models for our students. All qualified applicants will 
receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, 
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, 
disability, age, protected veteran status, or other protected categories 
covered by the UC nondiscrimination policy. A recipient of an NSF 
ADVANCE award for gender equity, UCI is responsive to the needs of dual 
career couples, supports work-life balance through an array of 
family-friendly policies, and is dedicated to broadening participation 
in higher education. Compensation is competitive, and includes priority 
access to purchase on-campus faculty housing at below-market prices. The

Candidates must have a doctoral degree. Apply online at 
https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF05780 or contact facultysearch at ess.uci.edu 
<mailto:facultysearch at ess.uci.edu>. Review of applications will begin 
January 2, 2020.
