Position description

The Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) at
the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) invites applications for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the area of Physical Climate
Science.

Globally, changes in temperature and rainfall patterns contribute to
important feedbacks between changing climate dynamics and the biota and
result in strong nonlinearities in the earth system's response to human
action. Understanding such complex dynamics requires research in the
physics of climate change, its underlying drivers, and interactions with
the Earth system.

We encourage applications from candidates whose research contributes to
understanding climate change in the earth system through the use of models,
data analyses, and/or theoretical approaches. Areas of physical climatology
and climate change of interest include (but are not limited to),
atmospheric science, environmental climatology, hydrometeorology,
microclimatology, and earth system science. Candidates whose research also
addresses climate solutions are encouraged to apply.

ESPM is a multidisciplinary community of scholars from the physical,
biological, and social sciences and humanities who conduct research,
teaching, and outreach to advance scientific understanding and develop
solutions for the world's pressing environmental problems. ESPM is home to
a top-ranked Ph.D. program in environmental science, policy and management,
and to five vibrant majors that span the disciplines in the department.

ESPM embraces open and equitable access to opportunities for learning and
development as our obligation and goal. An inclusive curriculum, classroom
environment, and pedagogy are essential to address critical environmental
challenges - including climate change, food security, natural resource
access and management, biodiversity, environmental health, land use
decision-making, and sustainable, just living conditions - and to create
impactful solutions. Our excellence can only be fully realized by faculty,
students, and staff who share our commitment to these values.

The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty,
including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in
candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time
off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside
academia. For information about potential relocation to Berkeley, or career
needs of accompanying partners and spouses, please visit:

Qualifications
Basic qualifications (required at time of application)
Applicants for this position must hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent international
degree) or be enrolled in a Ph.D. (or equivalent international degree)
granting program at the time of application.
