TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN CLIMATE SCIENCE AT THE JOINT SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF CLAREMONT McKENNA, PITZER, AND SCRIPPS COLLEGES
The Joint Science Department, which houses the biology, chemistry, and physics faculty for Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges (three of the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges), seeks a climate scientist who is committed to excellence in teaching and who will develop a vibrant research program that fully engages undergraduate students. The appointment will be made at the Assistant Professor level to begin July 2012. All areas of climate science will be considered, ranging from the most biological to the most physical. The new hire will be an integral participant in the Mellon Foundation-funded Claremont Colleges Intercollegiate Environmental Analysis Program, which also includes faculty from Harvey Mudd and Pomona Colleges. Many Joint Science faculty actively participate in collaborative research projects with research groups at nearby colleges and universities, and such collaborations are welcomed for this position. The teaching opportunities will include introductory courses in a core discipline (biology, chemistry, or physics) and in environmental science, as well as both upper-division electives and courses for non-science majors in climate science. A Ph.D. and a record of scholarly publication are required. Postdoctoral experience is preferred. Please apply online at https://webapps.cmc.edu/jobs/faculty/home.php. Upload a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a description of your proposed research, a statement of your proposed approach to teaching science in a liberal arts setting, and the names and e-mail addresses of three references. Inquiries regarding the position may be e-mailed to Professor Donald McFarlane at [email protected]. Additional information about the department may be found at www.jsd.claremont.edu. Review of applications will begin October 29, 2010, and the position will remain open until filled. In a continuing effort to enrich its academic environment and provide equal educational and employment opportunities, The Claremont Colleges actively encourage applications from women and members of historically under-represented social groups in higher education. The Claremont Colleges are an equal opportunity employer.
