[ES_JOBS_NET] Assistant Professor of Marine and Coastal Science - Western Washington University

[Alia Lauren Khan]

*Assistant Professor of Marine and Coastal Science*

*Western Washington University*



The Department of Environmental Sciences and the Marine and Coastal Science
(MACS) program at Western Washington University (WWU) invite applications
for a tenure-track, assistant professor position in Marine and Coastal
Science, beginning Fall 2021.

Western Washington University, with over 16,000 students in seven colleges
and the graduate school, is nationally recognized for its educational
programs, students and faculty. The campus is located in Bellingham,
Washington, a coastal community of 90,000 overlooking Bellingham Bay, the
San Juan Islands and the Cascade mountain range. The city lies 90 miles
north of Seattle, 60 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia, and 45
miles NW of Shannon Point Marine Center (SPMC), the teaching and research
facility located in Anacortes, WA.

The Marine and Coastal Science program (https://marine.wwu.edu) brings
together faculty, staff, and students from four academic departments housed
in two colleges, in addition to Western’s marine laboratory, the Shannon
Point Marine Center. The MACS academic program is based on the main campus
in Bellingham, with opportunities for research activities, short-term
residential experiences, and regular weekly meetings of some courses at the
Shannon Point Marine Center in Anacortes.  The cohort-based program of
study provides a strong foundation in basic science, broad knowledge of
marine systems, and opportunities for interdisciplinary, hands-on study.

We seek applicants whose research and teaching focus on *physical
oceanography and transport*, examining circulation and ocean transport
processes including tides, currents, hydrodynamics (small and/or large
scale), freshwater input, winds, and coastal processes.  Specific domains
could include bio-physical interactions; biogeochemical fluxes; transport
of materials such as pollutants, sediments, or plankton;
and/or ocean-climate interactions (e.g., ocean dynamics, global change, and
how the coast, atmosphere, and ocean interact).  Generalized approaches
could include instrumentation, field-based observational methods, numerical
modeling, or specialized statistics, such as time-series analysis or
spatial statistics.

We seek candidates who are committed to a multidisciplinary, collaborative
approach to scholarship and teaching, and who can contribute to upper-level
core classes in the MACS program (e.g., team teaching marine physical
processes with biologists, chemists, geologists).  Additional focus areas
for teaching include introductory marine science, quantitative methods or
modeling, as well as developing specialty elective courses.  Teaching
assignments for this position will be distributed evenly between
environmentally-oriented courses offered in Environmental Sciences and
interdisciplinary marine science courses offered in MACS.

Application review begins March 1, 2021; position is open until filled.
