rigorous knowledge, and research for societal impact and the public 
good. With more than 40 scientific and technical staff based at 
Columbia’s Lamont campus in Palisades NY, CIESIN works at the 
intersection of the natural, social, health, and data sciences to 
advance research and applications focused on human-environment 
interactions and to provide unique geospatial science and technology 
capabilities for research, education, and decision making. CIESIN has a 
strong portfolio of contracts, grants, and other sponsored projects 
including the operation of the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications 
Center (SEDAC). Many CIESIN staff have adjunct appointments at Columbia 
and are active in local, national, and international organizations 
dealing with data sharing and stewardship, climate change, sustainable 
development, disaster management, and other topics. CIESIN has three 
main divisions: Science Applications, Geospatial Applications, and 
Information Technology.

Screening of the candidates will begin immediately, and the search will 
remain open for at least 30 days from the day of posting and continue

CCS brings together an interdisciplinary faculty to conduct research and 
practice in a broad range of climate-related fields and to train 
students at the master’s and undergraduate levels for careers in climate 
research, practice and education.

Columbia University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. 
The search committee is particularly interested in candidates who will 
contribute to the diversity and excellence of the CCS academic community.
