[ES_JOBS_NET] Associate/Full Professor of Environmental Data Science, University of Virginia

[Claire Griffin]

The Department of Environmental Sciences (EVSC) and the School of Data
Science (SDS) at the University of Virginia invite applicants for a
full-time tenured position at the level of Associate or Full Professor in
the area of Environmental Data Science, with rank commensurate to
experience level. We seek applicants whose research and teaching address
questions in environmental science using novel approaches to the data cycle
to advance knowledge of environmental systems, and to solve problems of
societal relevance.  Approaches of interest include, but are not limited
to, data acquisition, analytical workflows, and data-driven computational
methods (e.g. machine-learning, statistical or simulation approaches). The
ideal candidate is data-oriented, has a track record of open collaborative,
cross-disciplinary work, and holds a PhD or equivalent in a relevant
field.  This position is open to all areas of the environmental sciences
but will prioritize data science research and teaching in the hydrologic,
atmospheric, or geoscience domains.


The successful candidate will be cross-appointed in Environmental Science
and Data Science and is expected to develop an externally funded and
internationally recognized research program, manage and mentor a diverse
research group, and teach undergraduate and graduate courses.  They will
take a central role that bridges and leverages research strengths between
both programs and will incorporate data science computation in the
undergraduate and graduate curriculum.   Opportunities for
collaboration/affiliation with other units in the University include
the Environmental
Resilience Institute <https://eri.virginia.edu/> and the Department of
Engineering Systems and Environment
<https://engineering.virginia.edu/departments/engineering-systems-and-environment>.
Environmental Resilience and Digital Technologies and Society have been
named as two of the five priority initiatives in the new university Strategic
Plan <https://strategicplan.virginia.edu/key-initiatives/>, emphasizing the
importance of this collaboration.

EVSC, in the College of Arts and Science, was formed in 1970, with research
and teaching interests that span Atmospheric Science, Geoscience, Hydrology
and Ecology (https://evsc.as.virginia.edu/research).  The School of Data
Science is the 12th and newest school at the University of Virginia, formed
with the largest gift in the university’s history. The School covers all
aspects of the data life cycle and emphasizes interdisciplinary, open,
ethical research and education that address societal challenges.
Environmental Data Science is one of the priority areas for the School.
