The Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering (CLaSP) in 
the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor 
invites applications for a tenure track faculty position with expertise 
in essential components of the stressed climate system who can bridge 
and strengthen our existing research portfolio. Specific subdisciplines 
of interest include meteorology and climate dynamics, polar science, 
atmospheric chemistry and air quality, clouds and water cycle feedbacks, 
and impacts of climate mitigation. The department welcomes expertise in 
either experimental (satellite, airborne, or ground-based 
instrumentation) or modeling (numerical weather prediction, climate 
modeling, machine learning, big data applications) areas. Although the 
position is open to all ranks, we especially seek candidates at the 
Assistant Professor level. We look for candidates who are capable of 
developing an internationally recognized research program, successfully 
competing for external funding, mentoring doctoral students, and 
participating in our educational programs at the graduate and 
undergraduate levels.  We welcome applications from candidates whose 
research addresses cross-disciplinary areas that complement our existing 
strengths in climate sciences and engineering and the development of 
space instrumentation and missions.

Applications should include a cover letter, CV, research and teaching 
statements, a statement describing any activities, contributions, or 
plans related to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion, and a list 
of four references with contact details. For full consideration, 
applications compiled into a single PDF should be received before 
December 15th, 2020. Applications should be addressed to 
clasp-fac-search at umich.edu. Questions about the position or application 
process can be directed to the search committee chair Chris Ruf 
(cruf at umich.edu). The availability of this position is contingent upon 
final University approval.

University of Michigan is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. 
CLaSP and the College of Engineering are especially interested in 
exceptionally well qualified candidates who will contribute, through 
their research, teaching, and service, to the department's goal of 
eliminating systemic racism and sexism by embracing our culture of 
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). Women, minorities, individuals 
with disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply. The University 
is also responsive to the needs of dual-career couples. The University 
is a non-discriminatory, affirmative action Employer.

Michigan Engineering’s vision is to be the world’s preeminent college of 
engineering serving the common good. This global outlook, leadership 
focus, and service commitment permeate our culture. Our vision is 
supported by a mission and values that, together, provide the framework
