of Maryland (UMD) invites applications for a tenure-track position at
the Assistant Professor level. We seek candidates with expertise in
large-scale physical oceanography, with research interests that may
include quantifying ocean-atmosphere interactions, the role of oceans in
interannual-to-multidecadal climate variability and climate change, or
the role of polar oceans in Earth’s climate.</p><p><br></p>
<p>Department faculty engage in teaching, research, and service to the
University, state, and the broader community. We are seeking a colleague
who will build a vibrant, externally funded research program that
complements and expands our department’s expertise. They will teach at
the graduate and undergraduate levels, mentor undergraduate and graduate
(M.S. and Ph.D.) students, and provide intellectual leadership in
curriculum improvement and developing advanced courses. Our department’s
close relationship with the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary
Center (ESSIC), a UMD research center that also administers
the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Satellite Earth System Studies,
provides faculty and students an infrastructure for multidisciplinary
research with NASA, NOAA, and the UMD Departments of Geology and
Geographical Sciences. Additionally, university-wide initiatives
strengthening and growing UMD’s climate portfolio through Grand
Challenge grants and new investments advancing multidisciplinary
research should provide the successful applicant with a nurturing
environment to build their research program.</p><p><br></p>
