Open Rank Faculty Position in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and
Space Sciences at the University of Michigan
The Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences (AOSS) in the
College of Engineering at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor
invites applications for an open rank, tenure or tenure-track faculty
position. We welcome applicants who are working in the intersections
between the physically based understandings, monitoring, or predictions
of global or regional climate changes and the implications of such
changes for water, energy, or other socio-economic policies. Applicants
working on physical, chemical, or biogeochemical aspects of these issues
are all encouraged to apply. Relevant areas are, but not limited to, (1)
understanding, quantifying, and reducing parametric and structural
uncertainties in earth system modeling for improving climate
projections, (2) understanding extreme weather events or other
low-probability-high-impact events in the context of future climate
change and improving the assessment of their social-economic impacts,
(3) climate variability and its impact on regional water and energy
policies, (4) climate monitoring for climate policy needs and policy
evaluations.
This position was awarded to the Department under the Interdisciplinary
Faculty Cluster Hire initiative of the University. The Cluster Hire
includes one other position in the School of Natural Resources and the
Environment with a focus on Modeling and Assessment of Climate Change
and Impacts. Successful candidates will work in their primary
disciplinary area but will ideally also contribute to the development of
greater cohesion among the diverse group of faculty with relevant
research interest across the entire university.
The successful candidate will be expected to (1) develop a widely
recognized and externally funded research program, (2) supervise
graduate students in research and (3) participate in the teaching
mission of the Department and the College at both the graduate and
undergraduate levels. Candidates capable of developing collaborative
relationships in research and teaching are of particular interest. A PhD
in a subject of climate sciences or relevant discipline is required.
Applications should include a cover letter, CV, research and teaching
statements, and a list of at least four references. For full
consideration applications in a single PDF file should be received
before December 1st, 2012.
Applications and questions concerning this position should be directed
to aossiasearch at umich.edu <mailto:aossiasearch at umich.edu>. The AOSS
department currently consists of 24 tenure or tenure-track faculty and
132 graduate students with annual research expenditures of about $20
million. It offers an exciting research and teaching environment with
wide scope and rich expertise within the Department as well as
diversified interdisciplinary opportunities within the University.
Research conducted within the Department covers glaciology, atmospheric
and oceanic dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, air pollution,
aerosol-cloud-climate interactions, radiative transfer and remote
sensing, as well as upper atmospheric physics, mesosphere-to-ionosphere
coupling, and space weather. Strong expertise exists in instrumentation
and observation, numerical simulations, as well as theoretical studies.
In addition to the regular PhD program, the AOSS department also offers
Master of Engineering programs in Applied Climate and Space Engineering.
The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor has 19 schools and colleges in
total. AOSS faculty have ongoing collaborations with researchers and
faculty in many other nationally top-ranked programs within the
University, including other engineering departments, the School of
Nature Resources and the Environment, Earth and Environmental Sciences,
the School of Public Health, School of Information, and the Ross School
of Business.
The College is especially interested in qualified candidates who can
contribute, through their research, teaching, and service, to the
diversity and excellence of the academic community. Women, minorities,
individuals with disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply. The
University is also responsive to the needs of dual career couples. The
University is a non-discriminatory, affirmative action Employer.
