Job description

Overview

Tenure track position in Climate Based Physical Oceanography
Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES)
University of Colorado Boulder

The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), an interdisciplinary research institute within the University of Colorado Boulder, seeks to appoint a junior, tenure-track faculty member specializing in physical oceanography as related to climate variability on seasonal, interannual, interdecadal or longer time scales.

Responsibilities

• Develop an independent research program with productive collaborations within and outside CIRES, including the wider Boulder climate community, leading to novel insights about mechanisms that connect ocean processes with topics of interest to CIRES scientists (e.g., regional process studies, air-sea interactions, wave dynamics, ocean circulation, or paleoclimate).
• Utilize appropriate research tools, including modeling, theory, and data analysis (e.g., from remote sensing sources).
• Obtain a tenure-track affiliation in a relevant academic department (e.g., Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Geography, Aerospace Engineering Sciences, Geologic Sciences).
• Manage a distribution of effort of 40% research, 40% teaching, and 20% service.

Qualifications

• Minimum education: PhD in oceanography, physics, geology, or a related field.
• Strong potential for establishing a productive, externally funded research program and collaborations within CIRES and the broader Boulder climate community.

Application Process

• Applications must be submitted to www.jobsatcu.com, posting #F00798.
