[Alison Gray]

*Assistant Professor (tenure-track) - The Changing Ocean - University of
Washington School of Oceanography*

Apply here <https://apply.interfolio.com/101378>

The University of Washington School of Oceanography seeks applications for
a full time, 9-month faculty position at the level of tenure-track
Assistant Professor in the broad theme of the Changing Ocean. The
anticipated start date of the position is September 16, 2022. Review of
applications will begin on March 15, 2022. Applications will be considered
until the position is filled.

Oceans and coastlines change over diurnal-to-million-year timescales and
across the full range of spatial scales. Understanding linkages between the
past, present, and future states of the oceans relies on knowledge of
underlying mechanisms of natural and human-forced ocean and ecosystem
change. Our ability to detect and predict these changes hinges on our
understanding of the links between the physics, geology, chemistry, and
biology of the ocean. The successful applicant will be expected to expand
the school’s research and teaching efforts related to ocean change.
Research and teaching could fall within a wide range of coastal or open
ocean topics, including but not limited to biogeochemistry, ecology, ocean
climate interaction, paleoceanography, geobiology or sedimentology. We
welcome the full range of approaches in applied and/or basic science, from
field observations and data analysis to laboratory or numerical simulations
and theoretical modeling.

Our academic unit is highly multidisciplinary and promotes a collegial
culture with broad interdisciplinary research ties throughout the School
and across the UW campus. UW faculty are expected to engage in research,
teaching, and service. The successful candidate for this position will
develop new or expanded areas of expertise within the School of
Oceanography and collaborate with colleagues within the School and College
of the Environment, and across the University. The candidate will be
expected to contribute to the teaching mission of the School, including
teaching across interdisciplinary topics, at the graduate and undergraduate
levels, and mentoring of graduate students. In all aspects of this
position, the candidate will be expected to promote a diverse, inclusive,
and equitable environment for students, faculty, staff, and the public.
