[Xi Yang]

The Department of Environmental Sciences (EVSC) and the School of Data
Science (SDS) at the University of Virginia invite applicants for an
Assistant Professor in the area of environmental data science. We seek
applicants whose research and teaching focus on advancing knowledge of
environmental systems and solving problems of societal relevance using
novel approaches to the data cycle.  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, prioritizing data science research and teaching in
the domains of ecology, hydrology, atmospheric sciences, or geosciences.



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 1969, with research
and teaching interests that span ecology, hydrology, atmospheric science,
and geoscience (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 Schoolcovers 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.
