The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Department of
Geography invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor
position in the field of climate science effective 1 July 2008.
The Department of Geography seeks candidates whose research and teaching
interests focus on understanding coupled climate processes using
numerical modeling and observations. Research focus areas include
climate scale interactions of the atmosphere with terrestrial, oceanic,
and/or cryospheric processes; global climate change and its feedbacks
with regional climates; climate impacts on humankind and potential
feedbacks; and the role of the mesoscale atmospheric processes in
climate and climate change. The successful applicant should be versed in
the use of observational data (e.g., remote sensing and historical or
paleo records) as well as the numerical and/or mathematical modeling of
climate. It is expected that the candidate should be able to (1) conduct
state of the art research in association with the diverse group of
scholars in the departments of Geography, Earth Science and Ecology,
Evolution and Marine Biology, the Institute for Computational Earth
System Science, the Marine Science Institute, and the Donald Bren School
of Environmental Science and Management; (2) help focus
interdisciplinary graduate training and research programs in the study
of Earth's climate and its changes; and (3) teach classes at both the
graduate and undergraduate level in physical geography and atmospheric
sciences.
The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute
to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through
research, teaching, and service. UCSB is an EO/AA Employer. Applicants
must have a PhD and should submit a complete curriculum vitae, statement
of research and teaching interests, and names and addresses of three
referees by Monday, 15 October 2007 to: climate_search [at] geog.ucsb.edu.
