The University of Virginia’s Department of Environmental Sciences<br>
invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position<br>
in Regional-Scale Climate Science, expected to begin August 10,<br>
2025. We seek candidates who are dedicated to our mission to<br>
advance understanding of the environment through interdisciplinary<br>
scientific research, education, and service. The position in regional-<br>
scale climate science involves geo-spatial analyses and/or modeling<br>
of climate dynamics at scales between global general circulation<br>
models and site-level in situ data collections. We are particularly<br>
interested in scientists who study Earth system processes that span<br>
from global to local scales. Examples of research in this area include,<br>
but are not limited to, process-based modeling on synoptic-to-<br>
mesoscale domains, assessing vulnerability of specific regions to<br>
extreme weather events, and using regional climate data and models<br>
in assessment studies of societal relevance. The ideal candidate will<br>
work on dynamics and forecasts at scales that are important for<br>
regional and community-level climate action.<br>
<br>
In addition to developing external funding to support research<br>
endeavors, candidates will be expected to teach at the graduate and<br>
undergraduate levels and provide service to the University, Department,<br>
and professional organizations.<br>
<br>
This position is part of a three-faculty cluster hire (with the other<br>
positions in the School of Data Science and the Department of Civil<br>
and Environmental Engineering) focused on bridging global-scale climate<br>
dynamics with community-scale processes and systems to guide decision-<br>
making for equitable climate resilience and sustainability outcomes. The<br>
University of Virginia's 2030 strategic plan recognizes Environmental<br>
Resilience and Sustainability as one of five research priority areas, and is<br>
investing funds in research support and faculty hiring across six schools.<br>
<br>
Qualifications<br>
To meet the minimum qualifications for this position, candidates must hold<br>
a Ph.D. at the time of appointment. The successful candidate will have a<br>
Ph.D. in the atmospheric, earth, and/or environmental sciences, or a related<br>
field. Successful candidates would be expected to teach a lower-level<br>
undergraduate course in climate science, along with upper-level<br>
undergraduate and graduate courses in the candidate’s areas of expertise.<br>
<br>
