Assistant Professorship in climate and (sustainable) natural resources
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, Department of
Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS), is seeking applicants for
a faculty position focused on the connection of geological systems to
global climate and (sustainable) energy. This position encompasses a wide
scope of disciplines, including but not limited to fluid-rock reactions,
the carbon and water cycles, as well as processes related to critical
minerals. Our intent is to hire at the tenure-track assistant professor
level. More senior appointments may be considered in special cases,
commensurate with experience. We seek to build on MIT’s recent strategic
emphasis on climate and the launch (with the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering, CEE) of our new undergraduate degree in Climate
System Science and Engineering. This search complements and will be
coordinated with a parallel search focused on climate systems.

EAPS is an academic community of approximately 40 faculty, 100 research
staff (including postdocs), and 180 students, who study integrated aspects
of Earth and planetary sciences, including through partnership with the
MIT- Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Joint Program. EAPS is
committed to academic excellence and to fostering an intellectually
vibrant, equitable and inclusive environment. We seek outstanding and
collegial scientists who have the potential for innovation and leadership
in research, bring strong commitment to teaching courses and mentoring
undergraduate and graduate students, and share the Principles of our
Community <https://eapsweb.mit.edu/about/code-conduct>.

A complete application includes (1) a cover letter, (2) Curriculum Vitae, (3)
a 1-3 page summary of current and future research directions, (4) a 1-3
page statement describing teaching and mentoring experience and/or future
plans, including contributions to fostering diversity, equity, and
inclusion, and (5) three letters of recommendation.
