Position Description:

We are seeking an adjunct faculty member to teach an asynchronous online course on the fundamental science of how the climate system works. The instructor will teach the observed and projected impacts of climate change through the examination of observational data and climate/Earth system model predictions and projections. The candidate should be comfortable teaching: (1) physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, focused on the greenhouse effect; (2) the carbon cycle and its relation to the energy system; and (3) predictions and projections of climate change. Students will engage with the material through class discussions and a diverse set of 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.
