Wyoming Excellence Chair in Atmosphere-Biosphere Interaction
The Departments of Atmospheric Science and Renewable Resources at the University of
Wyoming seek a distinguished scholar for the Wyoming Excellence Chair in Atmosphere-
Biosphere Interaction. This endowed position will be filled at the rank of associate or full
professor. The successful candidate will have an earned PhD degree in atmospheric or life
sciences, and should be eligible for appointment with tenure in the Department of Atmospheric
Science. Candidates with an internationally recognized research program focused on
processes controlling atmosphere-biosphere interaction are invited to apply. Preference will be
given to those whose research integrates measurements as a tool to explore linkages between
atmospheric processes and terrestrial ecosystems. The successful candidate will be expected to
maintain an active research program, manage a research team, advise graduate students, and
carry a typical teaching load. The position includes an attractive start-up package and access
to a suite of research facilities including the University of Wyoming's NSF-supported King Air
research aircraft, high-altitude in situ observation system, Stable Isotope Facility, Environmental
Simulation Laboratory, W. M. Keck Aerosol Laboratory, and Elk Mountain Observatory. The
new NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) also presents a significant research
opportunity.
The University of Wyoming has strong research programs in atmospheric and terrestrial (land
surface) sciences, and successful cross-disciplinary doctoral programs in Ecology (PiE) and in
Hydrology (WRESE). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to become a member
of the PiE faculty. More information of relevance to this position can be found at
