Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Sciences

Department of Geography and Earth Sciences

University of North Carolina at Charlotte

The Department of Geography and Earth Sciences in the College of Humanities
& Earth and Social Sciences at the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the rank
of Assistant Professor specializing in atmospheric remote sensing. This
position will begin on August 15, 2024.

Qualifications. The Department is seeking expertise that leverages remote
sensing to address questions related to topics such as precipitation, cloud
cover, aerosols, air pollution, or radiative transfer, and their
interactions with Earth’s climate and weather systems. Candidates are
required to have earned a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences, Meteorology, or a
closely related discipline at the time of appointment. Preferred candidates
will be those who: (1) Provide evidence of scholarly productivity or
potential, describe plans to develop a sustainable externally-funded (e.g.
NASA, NOAA, NSF) research program, and describe how their research will
incorporate both graduate and undergraduate students; and (2) Demonstrate
the ability and desire to contribute to the Department’s interdisciplinary
graduate and undergraduate teaching. Contributions include developing new
graduate and/or undergraduate courses in Meteorology and/or Earth Sciences,
as well as supporting existing undergraduate courses in either of those
subjects. Finalists will be asked to discuss how their teaching practices
engage students of different ages, races, ethnicities, backgrounds,
identities, and abilities, helping to remove barriers in order to ensure
the success of all students regardless of their entry pathway into the
university.

https://geoearth.charlotte.edu/) is a diverse community of physical,
geospatial, and social scientists composed of over 35 faculty members, 400
undergraduate majors, and 60 graduate students. Our current mission is to
inspire discovery of the Earth and its inhabitants with a vision for an
informed and diverse community that strives for a sustainable Earth and an
equitable world. We create and disseminate knowledge of the Earth’s human
and natural systems to adapt to an everchanging environment in which we
live, work, and interact. The Department offers undergraduate degrees in
Meteorology (BS), Earth and Environmental Sciences (BS), Geology (BS),
Geography (BA/BS), and Environmental Studies (BA). At the graduate level,
we offer an MS in Earth Sciences, an MA and PhD in Geography, and regularly
participate in the interdisciplinary Infrastructure and Environmental
Systems (INES) and Public Policy (PPOL) PhD programs. The Department is
also home to the Center for Applied Geographic Information Science (CAGIS,
https://gis.charlotte.edu/) and the Charlotte Action Research Project
(CHARP, https://charp.charlotte.edu/). We are committed to excellence in
disciplinary and interdisciplinary research and teaching.

The College. The Department of Geography and Earth Sciences is housed
within the newly established College of Humanities & Earth and Social
Sciences (CHESS), which includes 15 departments, 18 interdisciplinary
programs, and 6 applied centers. The College plays a pivotal role in
delivering on the University’s goals in the areas of research excellence,
student success and experience, and community engagement. Through
scholarship and teaching, the College’s 350+ faculty members seek to deepen
our understanding of complex problems related to the intersection of human
and natural systems.
