Thank you.
Assistant or Associate Professors of Climate Change Science
Cornell University, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
Cornell University, located in Ithaca, New York, is an inclusive,
dynamic, and innovative Ivy League university and New York's
land-grant institution. Its staff, faculty, and students impart an
uncommon sense of larger purpose and contribute creative ideas and
best practices to further the university's mission of teaching,
research, and outreach.
Assistant or Associate Professor . Two tenure-track positions in
Climate Change Science: Atmospheric Science or Terrestrial
Biogeochemistry. College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cornell
University, Ithaca, New York. Cornell University has recently
established a Climate Change Initiative as part of its Center for a
Sustainable Future (CCSF, [EMAIL PROTECTED]). The Center
serves to focus and integrate the growing interest across departments
in sustainability, as well as to generate real-world
impacts. As part of the Climate Change Initiative, the Center seeks
to facilitate hire over the next 3 years of several faculty members
in the biological and physical sciences, social sciences,
engineering, and the humanities. We seek applications for two
tenure-track positions at the ASSISTANT or ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR rank
in climate change science, one in Atmospheric Science and one in
Terrestrial Biogeochemistry. For both, we seek candidates to address
regional and global scale issues by employing theoretical and
empirical approaches such as modeling, earth-observing system and/or
spatial information technologies, data-assimilation, spatial
statistics, and time-series analysis. The Atmospheric Science
position will address the interactions of the atmosphere with earth
surfaces. The Terrestrial Biogeochemistry position will focus on the
interaction of terrestrial surface processes with global
environmental change. The scope of these positions is intentionally
broad and a wide range of research areas will be considered. These
"open department" searches seek to place outstanding candidates in
departments they best match. Potential home departments are
Biological and Environmental Engineering, Crop and Soil Sciences,
Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and Natural Resources. Both positions
will involve 50% research and 50% instructional responsibilities and
developing an internationally recognized and externally funded
research program in Climate Change Science.
Qualifications: Ph.D. in relevant field. Applicants should submit a
cover letter indicating why they feel they are a good fit for an
interdisciplinary Climate Change Initiative at Cornell, together with
a curriculum vitae, a research plan (2-3 pages), and a statement of
teaching interests. All materials, including PDF files of selected
reprints should be submitted electronically, by emailing a single PDF
file to biogeochemistry- [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (please limit to 15MB). Applicants
should also provide names of three individuals who may be contacted
to provide letters of recommendation. Applications will be reviewed
beginning February 9, 2009; the searches will remain open until
qualified applicants are identified.
