FACULTY POSITION AT SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY, UC SAN DIEGO
Climate Change and the Hydrological Cycle
Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at UC San Diego
(http://scripps.ucsd.edu) invites applications for the faculty position
described below. We seek an outstanding scientist/educator to establish a
vigorous research program and provide intellectual leadership in her/his
field while complementing existing expertise at SIO and other UC San Diego
departments. SIO is a world-renowned center of solid earth, oceanographic,
biological, and atmospheric research with approximately 200 principal
investigators leading research programs. SIO is part of the University of
California, San Diego, which is one of the top research universities in
the world. We are committed to academic excellence and diversity within
the faculty, staff, and student body. The department is interested in
candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to inclusive excellence by
providing leadership in teaching, mentoring, research, and service towards
building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment.
Climate Change and the Hydrological Cycle: We seek outstanding candidates
for a tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured Associate Professor
position with a history of innovative research activities in the broad
area of climate change and the atmospheric hydrological cycle. We
encourage applicants who use theory, modeling, or observations, including
paleoclimate studies, to advance understanding of the changing
hydrological cycle and climate. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to, mesoscale to global-scale atmospheric dynamics, climate
dynamics, coupled atmosphere-ocean/hydroclimate variability and
predictability, extreme events including atmospheric rivers, climate
sensitivity, and cloud physics. The successful candidate is expected to
develop a strong extramurally supported research program that complements
existing climate and atmospheric research at SIO and UC San Diego. The
successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to teaching the
Climate Sciences core curricula for graduate and undergraduate students.
For full consideration, please apply by January 31, 2019.
