Co-Funded Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science - Institute of
Energy and the Environment- and Earth and Environmental Systems Institute
Hire in Climate Science with Emphasis on Solutions and Societal Impacts

The Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science
<http://www.weather.psu.edu/>, the Institute of Energy and the Environment
<http://iee.psu.edu/>, and the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute
<http://eesi.psu.edu/> of The Pennsylvania State University invite
applications for a tenure-track faculty position in climate science with
emphasis on solutions and societal impacts at the rank of Assistant
Professor. Improving the representation of atmospheric or oceanic processes
in climate predictions, advancing the theory, observations, and models
needed to develop and evaluate these predictions, and improving our ability
to observe and understand the impacts of ongoing climate change are
necessary to advance stakeholder-relevant climate science. We seek an
atmospheric or oceanic scientist whose research will advance climate
science and who is motivated by the need to address the wide-ranging and
disproportionate impacts of climate change on society. The successful
candidate’s research may enhance equity and social justice, improve
predictions of climate impacts, or inform adaptation and mitigation
strategies. A critical component of the faculty member’s research will be
an active effort to benefit underserved and vulnerable populations.

We seek a colleague who will develop an externally funded interdisciplinary
research program, be a committed and enthusiastic teacher and mentor of
undergraduate and graduate students within and outside the department,
contribute to enhancing department and college activities in diversity,
equity, and inclusion, and become an internationally recognized scholar who
serves the public and scientific communities. The successful candidate
should be a collaborative leader who will promote and enhance excellence
and innovation in interdisciplinary research. A Ph.D. in atmospheric or
oceanic science or a related discipline is required by the time of
appointment.

This faculty member will benefit from university-wide interdisciplinary
initiatives including climate, water and biogeochemistry, urban systems,
energy systems, and health and the environment facilitated by the Institute
of Energy and the Environment (IEE) and the Earth and Environmental Systems
Institute (EESI). These initiatives bring together faculty from nine
colleges and more than 30 departments, creating a vibrant environment for
interdisciplinary research in energy and environmental issues. This faculty
member will also benefit from potential collaborations and resources
provided by the other university-wide institutes: Social Science Research,
Huck Life Sciences, Computational and Data Sciences, Materials Research,
Penn State Cancer, and Clinical and Translational Sciences.

The Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science at Penn State relies
on the expertise, sensitivity, and commitment of an inclusive faculty to
enhance diversity, seek equity, and create a welcoming environment within
our community. We are committed to nurturing a learning and working
environment that respects differences in culture, age, gender, race,
ethnicity, physical ability, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation.
We understand that our shared future is guided by basic principles of
fairness, mutual respect, and commitment to each other. We strive to meet
the needs of professional families by actively assisting with partner
placement needs of newly hired faculty members.

and include: (1) a cover letter addressed to Professor Kenneth Davis,
