The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania,
invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position in climate
prediction
with a focus on solutions and climate justice at the rank of <b>Assistant Professor</b>.
We seek a faculty member whose research would use a state-of-the-art
understanding of the earth and atmospheric sciences to advance the
accuracy and precision of climate
predictions. The faculty member's research would be purposefully
designed to benefit vulnerable populations. Thus, while the faculty
member would pursue fundamental research to improve climate predictions,
the work would be guided by the needs of vulnerable
populations. This hire would fill a critical gap between our
traditional disciplinary expertise in atmospheric science and the
overwhelming need for climate science designed to help vulnerable
populations adapt to climate change. This faculty member would
benefit from strong interdisciplinary links to colleagues working in
fields such as adaptation strategies, engineering, economics, urban
systems, decision science, ethics, geography, sociology, and political
science. This collaboration would be facilitated
by the university-wide Institute for Energy and the Environment (IEE),
which is currently promoting interdisciplinary initiatives including
climate, water and biogeochemistry, urban systems, and health and the
environment, and the College of Earth and Mineral
Sciences' Earth and Environmental Systems Institute (EESI).</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black"></span></span></div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black">
