[Christine Wiedinmyer]

The Department of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Northern Illinois
University invites applications for an assistant, associate, or full
professor in the field of atmospheric science. The position will begin in
August of 2026 and may be offered as tenure track or with tenure, based on
the candidate's documented record of achievement, and subject to approval
from the Department, College, University, and NIU Board of Trustees.

Earth, Atmosphere and Environment offers programs leading to the B.S.,
M.S., and Ph.D. degrees, and currently has 14 faculty members, whose
research and teaching interests are described on our web site at
https://go.niu.edu/eae.

NIU is a public research university in DeKalb, an affordable and growing
community that is a commutable distance from Chicago and Rockford
metropolitan areas. The proximity of DeKalb to Chicago provides easy access
to Chicago's Technology and Research Corridor (e.g., Argonne, Fermi, many
Fortune 1000 companies, etc.), the arts and extensive nature preserves and
parks. Our 16,000+ student body is diverse, with many first-generation and
racially and culturally diverse students. NIU is dedicated to fostering an
inclusive academic environment where all students, faculty and staff thrive.

We are seeking a scholar whose research interests complement existing
Department strengths in numerical modeling, weather and climate extremes,
climate variability and change, artificial intelligence, climate analytics,
or other related areas. The Department is particularly interested in
candidates who can integrate applied atmospheric science using machine
learning, statistics, or other forms of data analytics into their teaching
and scholarship.
The successful candidate is expected to seek external funding in support of
scholarship; a successful applicant at the associate or full professor
level should have a well-established record of externally funded research
and teaching excellence.

Preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate a willingness to
collaborate with faculty in our Weather, Climate and Society Research
Group, our broader Department, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Convective Storms (CIRCS),
and/or the Northern Illinois Center for Community Sustainability (NICCS)
hub.
