Assistant or Associate Professor (tenure-track) position, Polar climate modeling

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking to fill one position for an assistant or associate professor (tenure-track) position in polar climate modeling. This position is part of a campus-wide cluster hiring initiative to add to the vibrant community focused on “The Emerging Polar Regions” that would work at the intersections among earth system components (cryosphere, atmosphere/ocean, and biosphere). The cluster joins a landscape of existing and historical strengths in diverse aspects of polar research at UW-Madison. Units participating in the cluster hire include: the Departments of Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences, Botany, Forest and Wildlife Ecology, Geography, Geosciences, and Integrative Biology. Tenure home will be determined at the time of hire based on the selected candidate’s qualifications and interests.PRINCIPAL DUTIES:Develop a nationally recognized program of scholarly research.Teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate level.Advise and mentor undergraduate and graduate students.Contribute to local, university, and national service as appropriate for career stage.Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to an inclusive environment, bring new perspectives on mentoring and educating students from diverse backgrounds, and pursue novel approaches to research.Minimum Requirements:PhD in Atmospheric, Oceanic, Climate or Earth Sciences, or closely related field required.UW-Madison is seeking a diverse set of faculty candidates who will deepen our campus’ interdisciplinary research strength in key areas of current and future research promise, as well as faculty candidates who will approach their work in a manner that advances our commitment to research excellence.The ideal candidate will be innovative in developing and using coupled models to address fundamental problems in polar climate, especially those involving interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, ice sheets, and/or terrestrial and marine ecosystems. We seek candidates able to work across system boundaries and able to build research linkages to other cluster hires and to other polar researchers on campus.The UW Cluster Hiring Initiative is designed to foster collaborative research, education, and outreach by creating new interdisciplinary areas of knowledge that cross the boundaries of existing academic departments.The AOS Department continues to sustain and enhance its historical strength in the areas of climate, remote sensing, and weather systems. Professors in the AOS Department have excellent opportunities to engage in synergistic collaborations with scientists in the Center for Climate Research (CCR), Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC), Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) and Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE). AOS is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment, and aim to add new faculty who value collegiality and collaboration in both research and teaching.
