*ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF REGIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE MODELING, UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA, DAVIS* -- The Department of Land, Air and Water Resources
and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University
of California, Davis, invites outstanding scholars to submit an
application for Assistant Professor in Regional Climate Change
Modeling. This will be a 9-month academic year appointment with
11-month term employment to be offered and continued based on academic
personnel review. The successful candidate is expected to provide
leadership and conduct innovative research related to regional climate
change. The ideal candidate would link atmospheric processes with other
components of the Earth system, especially the hydrologic cycle.
Experience in developing or modifying regional or global climate models,
in coupling regional and global climate models, or in applying such
models to understanding complex and diverse regional-scale
meteorological issues in California and other locations are preferred.
Other desirable areas of research experience include: cloud
microphysical processes; aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions;
atmosphere-surface interactions (including greenhouse gas fluxes);
greenhouse gas effects; statistical analysis of complex data sets;
simulation error reduction, and use of remote sensing data. The
candidate's research is expected to complement existing UC Davis
research activities in large-scale and climate dynamics, mesoscale
modeling, biomicrometeorology, boundary-layer meteorology, hydrology,
Earth system modeling, paleoclimatology, and atmospheric chemistry.
Potential areas of research may include predicting and understanding
changes in precipitation and the hydrologic cycle, temperature, climate
trends, extreme weather events, and atmosphere--ocean interactions. A
PhD in meteorology, atmospheric science, or a closely related discipline
is required. Applicants for this position will be required to teach
atmospheric science courses at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels in topics such as climate modeling, geophysical fluid dynamics,
cloud physics, and radiative transfer. Supervision of graduate students,
student advising, curricular development, participation in outreach
programs, and university service are expected. For additional
information about the position, and to submit application materials,
please visit http://recruitments.ucdavis.edu. Please include: (1)
curriculum vitae; (2) names and contact information for three
references; (3) description of current and projected research; (4)
summary of teaching interests and experience; and (5) up to three
publications, all in PDF format. For more information about the
position, please contact Dr. Terry Nathan, Search Committee Chair, LAWR,
trnathan at ucdavis.edu <mailto:trnathan at ucdavis.edu>. Open until filled,
but all application materials must be received by November 1, 2011 to
assure full consideration. /UC Davis is an affirmative action/equal
employment opportunity employer and is dedicated to recruiting a diverse
faculty community. We welcome all qualified applicants to apply,
including women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities./
