Please direct any questions to: [email protected] ************* Faculty Position in Integrated Assessment and Modeling of Climate Impacts
The School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE) at the University of Michigan (UM) seeks applicants for an Assistant Professor position (tenure-track) in integrated assessment and modeling of climate-change impacts. SNREs mission is to contribute to the protection of the Earths resources and the achievement of a sustainable society. We seek applicants working in modeling, integration, and assessment of climate-change impacts to inform decisions on climate responses. Training may be in any relevant discipline, including economics, modeling methods, or any major impact domain e.g., forests, hydrology, agriculture, coastal zones, built environment, public health, etc. In addition to their disciplinary perspective, we seek candidates able to integrate knowledge from multiple domains, through models or other methods. This position and one in atmospheric sciences comprise a UM faculty cluster on Climate Modeling and Integrated Assessment. These two hires will help build cohesion among UM faculty interested in climate and integrated assessment. Candidates should thus have the interests and skills to interact effectively with researchers across SNRE and elsewhere. SNRE (www.snre.umich.edu) is an interdisciplinary professional school pursuing knowledge and strategies to steward the Earths resources. The school has 400 Masters and 60 doctoral students, and partners in a cross-campus undergraduate Program in the Environment and five graduate dual degrees. The successful candidate will be expected to: 1) Build a respected research program that attracts external funding; 2) Contribute to graduate and undergraduate teaching; 3) Mentor graduate students; 4) Contribute to SNRE, UM, and relevant professions through service and collaboration. A Ph.D. in a relevant field is required. Applications including cover letter, CV, a concise statement of your research and teaching plans, and copies of three letters of reference should be sent, as one PDF file, to: [email protected]. Review of applications will begin November 1, 2011. The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity employer, and individuals from under-represented groups are encouraged to apply.
