the representation of atmospheric or oceanic processes in climate predictions, advancing the theory, observations, and models needed to develop and evaluate these predictions, and improving our ability to observe and understand the impacts of ongoing climate
change are necessary to advance stakeholder-relevant climate science. We seek an atmospheric or oceanic scientist whose research will advance climate science and who is motivated by the need to address the wide-ranging and disproportionate impacts of climate
change on society. The successful candidate’s research may enhance equity and social justice, improve predictions of climate impacts, or inform adaptation and mitigation strategies. A critical component of the faculty member’s research will be an active effort
to benefit underserved and vulnerable populations. </span></p>
