*************



The College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences (CMNS) at the
University of Maryland is conducting an open search for the Director of its
Earth Systems Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC). The Center is a
partnership among CMNS, the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences
(BSOS), and includes three partner departments (Atmospheric and Oceanic
Science and Geology in CMNS, and Geographical Sciences in BSOS).



The Center partners with the NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center (GSFC)
and NOAA through two Cooperative Agreements which support research on all
aspects of the Earth System using Satellite-based measurement and analysis.
The Center supports over 200 research scientists, 20 administrative staff,
with an annual research income of approximately $60M. ESSIC shares
professorial appointments with itw three partner departments; currently,
there are four split appointments with Atmospheric and Oceanic Science and
three with Geology.

The Master Grant with Goddard supports four major research areas: Earth
system variability and change; atmospheric composition and processes; the
global carbon cycle (including terrestrial and marine ecosystems/land
use/cover change) and the global water cycle (including the cryosphere).
The NOAA Cooperative Institute for Satellite Earth System Studies (CISESS),
led by ESSIC in collaboration with North Carolina State University,
supports NOAA’s mission to understand and predict changes in climate,
weather, oceans, and coasts, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine
ecosystems and resources. ESSIC scientists also work with other agencies on
both basic and applied Earth System Research, including
the NSF, USDA, DOE and EPA.

ESSIC has a major role to play in the University of Maryland’s Strategic
Plan to focus our education, research, scholarship, and service to
accelerate solutions to humanity’s grand challenges, including climate
change. The ESSIC Director will support the strategic plan by building on
ESSIC’s partnerships with other units in the university, strengthening the
relationships with NASA and NOAA, and engaging new external partners from
universities, federal agencies, the State of Maryland and the private
sector, thereby continuing to raise the national and international profile
of the University.
