[ES_JOBS_NET] tenure-track faculty position, Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS), Purdue University

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

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 *modeling cloud microphysical, aerosol, or
chemical interactions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor* to
begin in the 2022-23 academic year.

*Qualifications:  *Candidates must have completed their PhD in Atmospheric
Science or related field at the time of employment.  The successful
candidate should be able to develop: a vigorous, externally funded,
internationally recognized research program; a complementary, excellent
undergraduate and graduate teaching and mentoring portfolio; a demonstrated
commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We seek candidates that are pursuing novel, integrative modeling approaches
to improving understanding and prediction of cloud microphysical, aerosol,
and chemical processes, and their interactions with weather and climate.
An emphasis on including these novel processes for the purpose of improving
predictions of cloud formation, convection, precipitation or atmospheric
radiative properties within weather or climate models is especially of
interest.

This position aligns with departmental strategic themes of 1) climate and
extreme weather and 2) interactions across scales and across systems, and
complements recent hires spanning expertise in mesoscale, synoptic, and
planetary scale dynamics, extreme weather, radar remote sensing, cloud
microphysics and aerosol observations, atmospheric chemistry, air quality,
paleoclimate and planetary atmospheres. The potential to develop
interdisciplinary, collaborative research that cuts across specialty areas
within the department, the College of Science, and Purdue’s broader
community is desirable. These cross and trans-disciplinary interests
include natural hazards prediction, climate change solutions,
food-energy-water security, ground/airborne/satellite remote sensing, “big
data”, and natural-human systems interactions.

*The College:  *Within EAPS and Purdue, candidates will find supportive
colleagues and a diverse, vibrant, rapidly growing academic community, with
ample opportunities for professional and personal growth. 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 of 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
