Assistant/Associate Professor in Climate Modeling – Indiana University

Indiana University is seeking an Assistant/Associate Professor in Climate Modeling for a tenure-track position in Bloomington, IN. The role involves establishing a research program, teaching, and mentoring students in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences or a related field, with a focus on climate dynamics and modeling. The position contributes to IU's Grand Challenge in global change modeling.
Overview

Assistant/Associate Professor at Indiana University. The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Indiana University (IU) Bloomington invites applications for a tenure-track position in climate modeling to begin in Fall 2018. The successful candidate will establish an internationally recognized, externally funded academic research program, and have a strong interest in graduate and undergraduate instruction including mentoring of M.S. and Ph.D. student research. Service to the department, college, and university is expected.
Context

This position adds to the IU community of Earth system modelers and is one of two faculty hires in climate modeling. This Grand Challenge aims to put IU at the forefront of modeling global change. IU already has considerable strength in atmospheric science, hydrology, and ecological modeling, with opportunities to conduct fundamental research across biology, geology, atmospheric science, geography, anthropology, environmental history, economics, urban planning, and agriculture.
Program

Atmospheric Science at Indiana University is a dynamic program with opportunities to undertake field, laboratory, or modeling research. The program integrates research across scales, from boundary layer turbulence to mesoscale phenomena including deep moist convection to global circulation dynamics. Our faculty conduct research in radiative forcing and climate change, tropical cyclone morphology using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, and satellite remote sensing and GPS occultation methods.
