The University of Arizona is continuing a search for tenure-track Assistant
Professor of Phenoclimatology, bridging ecology and climate. This new
faculty line is in the UA¹s School of Natural Resources and the Environment
and provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development
of the USA-National Phenology Network (www.usanpn.org
<http://www.usanpn.org/> ). We seek an individual interested in developing
a vibrant research program that integrates phenological observations and
models with climatic forecasts to investigate, predict, and help
mitigate/adapt ecological responses to climatic variability and change, as
well as their cascading effects. The position description is available as

Assistant Professor of Natural Resources in Phenoclimatology (bridging
ecology and climate)
The University of Arizona
Integration of phenological observations and relevant models with short and
long-term climatic predictions is crucial to manage ecosystems and wildlife
in the context of a changing climate. The University of Arizona invites
applications from applied climatologists, quantitative ecologists and
ecological modelers for the tenure-track position of Assistant Professor
with an emphasis on Phenoclimatology. This will be an academic appointment
within the School of Natural Resources and the Environment and provides an
opportunity to collaborate closely with colleagues across campus and
particularly with the USA National Phenology Network to provide leadership
in bridging between phenological ecology and applied climatology.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to capitalize on USA-NPN
colleagues, programs, and data products to develop phenological models,
bioclimatic assessments, and decision support needed to anticipate, manage,
and/or mitigate ecosystem and species responses to climatic variation and
change. Opportunities to collaborate in the environmental sciences abound on
The University of Arizona campus, through such groups as the School of
Natural Resources and the Environment, Institute of the Environment, Climate
Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS), Sustainability of Semi-Arid Hydrology
and Riparian Areas (SAHRA), Biosphere 2, the Laboratory of Tree-Ring
Research, the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and the BIO5
Institute. A Ph.D. in ecology, climatology, atmospheric sciences, or a
closely related field is required. We prefer someone with experience that
could include the following areas: climate and/or ecological modeling, time
series and spatial analysis, climate-ecology linkages, evaluating effects of
climate change on ecosystems or wildlife, and/or decision support.
The USA-NPN is an emerging and innovative partnership among academic
communities, federal agencies, and the general public with a mandate to
monitor, understand, and predict the influence of seasonal cycles and their
variability on the Nation¹s resources (www.usanpn.org). The National
Coordinating Office of the USA-NPN is located on the campus of the
University of Arizona and is co-hosted by the University and the U.S.
Geological Survey. The position description is available at as Job 43998
