oceanic and atmospheric environments and/or develop and engineer new airborne systems and
sensors. The faculty member will be expected to develop an active, externally funded research
program; develop collaborations both internal and external to the University; teach undergraduate
and graduate courses; recruit, mentor and advise graduate students; and engage in service within
and beyond the institution. The position requires a PhD.
