[ES_JOBS_NET] Assistant Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Purdue University

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

Assistant Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences 

Purdue University 

 

The Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS), within
the College of Science at Purdue University, invites applications for a
tenure-track faculty position in large-scale geophysical fluid dynamics at
the rank of Assistant Professor to begin in the 2020-21 academic year. 

 

Qualifications: Candidates must have completed their PhD in Atmospheric
Science or related field at the time of employment. Within EAPS and Purdue,
candidates will find supportive colleagues and a diverse and vibrant
academic community, with ample opportunities for professional and personal
growth. 

The successful candidate should be able to develop a vigorous, externally
funded, internationally recognized theoretical, experimental, and/or
observational research program that pursues novel integrative approaches to
study geophysical fluid interactions across global-to-regional scales and to
develop a complementary teaching portfolio. Possible areas of study may
include: planetary-scale modes of climate variability, coupled
ocean/atmosphere/cryosphere interactions, stratosphere/troposphere
interactions, weather-climate interactions, and predictability in weather
and seasonal forecasts. 

The candidate's program is expected to complement existing research within
the department and teaching needs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
The potential to develop interdisciplinary, collaborative research that cuts
across specialty areas within the department, the College of Science, and
Purdue's research community is desirable. EAPS has experienced growth in
recent years, with 10 new faculty hires in the last three years, and we
anticipate further growth in future years. One particular area of emphasis
will be in the area of data sciences. We expect synergies between this
position and the other hires. In particular, the successful candidate will
have multiple opportunities to join transdisciplinary efforts in areas such
as natural hazards risk prediction, fusion of modeling and data science, and
the food-energy-water nexus. 

 

The College: EAPS is part of the College of Science, which comprises the
physical, computing and life sciences at Purdue. It is the second-largest
college at Purdue with over 350 faculty and more than 6000 students. With
multiple commitments of significant investment and strong alignment with
Purdue leadership, the College is committed to supporting existing strengths
and enhancing the scope and impact EAPS. These positions are a central
component of a large-scale interdisciplinary hiring effort across key
strategic areas in the College, including mathematical and computational
foundations, quantum computation, and data science, and aligns with the new
campus-wide key strategic priority declared by Purdue's Board of Trustees
including the Integrative Data Science Initiative (see
https://www.purdue.edu/data-science/). Purdue itself is one of the nation's
leading land-grant universities, with an enrollment of over 41,000 students
primarily focused on STEM subjects. For more information, see
