assignments. The ideal candidate will exhibit a robust background
in climate science, physical/atmospheric/ocean systems modeling as
well as experience with climate policy. This expertise is crucial
for a course that examines climate change's impacts through the
lens of data and model projections. A PhD degree in a relevant
discipline is required, along with a commitment to inclusive
education and student engagement.
