Tenure-track faculty position

 

The Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois 
welcomes applications for a full time tenure-track faculty position at 
the assistant professor level beginning August 2006.  Candidates with 
expertise in synoptic-scale weather processes, quantitative 
precipitation forecasting, mesoscale processes, data assimilation, 
numerical weather prediction and computationally intensive modeling will 
be given primary consideration. We especially encourage applications 
from candidates with additional expertise in observational analysis.  
Candidates with exceptional strengths in other areas of the Atmospheric 
Sciences will also be considered.  The new faculty member will be part 
of the newly formed interdisciplinary Center for Water as a Complex 
Environmental System (http://cwaces.geog.uiuc.edu/ ).  The main focus of 
CWACES is on fundamental research questions related to the hydrological 
cycle, and the interconnections between society and all aspects of 
water-related environmental processes.  

 

The Department currently comprises 11 faculty, 2 instructors, 14 
research scientists, and 35 graduate students. The Department is engaged 
in several exciting initiatives, including the development of 
undergraduate programs in atmospheric and Earth-system science. The 
Department maintains close ties with the National Center for 
Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the Illinois State Water Survey.

 

Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree. The successful candidate is 
expected to develop a robust externally funded research program and to 
teach at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Applicants should submit 
a vita, list of publications, record of research funding, description of 
research and teaching interests, and the names of at least three 
referees to:

however, no hiring decision will be made until after that date.
