The Pennsylvania State University invite applications for a tenure-track
faculty position in *climate science with emphasis on solutions and
societal impacts* at the rank of Assistant Professor. Improving the
representation of atmospheric or oceanic processes in climate predictions,
advancing the theory, observations, and models needed to develop and
evaluate these predictions, and improving our ability to observe and
understand the impacts of ongoing climate change are necessary to advance
stakeholder-relevant climate science. We seek an atmospheric or oceanic
scientist whose research will advance climate science and who is motivated
by the need to address the wide-ranging and disproportionate impacts of
climate change on society. The successful candidate’s research may enhance
equity and social justice, improve predictions of climate impacts, or
inform adaptation and mitigation strategies. A critical component of the
faculty member’s research will be an active effort to benefit underserved
and vulnerable populations.


We seek a colleague who will develop an externally funded interdisciplinary
research program, be a committed and enthusiastic teacher and mentor of
undergraduate and graduate students within and outside the department,
contribute to enhancing department and college activities in diversity,
equity, and inclusion, and become an internationally recognized scholar who
serves the public and scientific communities. The successful candidate
should be a collaborative leader who will promote and enhance excellence
and innovation in interdisciplinary research. A Ph.D. in atmospheric or
oceanic science or a related discipline is required by the time of
appointment.


This faculty member will benefit from university-wide interdisciplinary
initiatives including climate, water and biogeochemistry, urban systems,
energy systems, and health and the environment facilitated by the Institute
of Energy and the Environment (IEE) and the Earth and Environmental Systems
Institute (EESI). These initiatives bring together faculty from nine
colleges and more than 30 departments, creating a vibrant environment for
interdisciplinary research in energy and environmental issues. This faculty
member will also benefit from potential collaborations and resources
provided by the other university-wide institutes: Social Science Research,
Huck Life Sciences, Computational and Data Sciences, Materials Research,
Penn State Cancer, and Clinical and Translational Sciences.


The Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science at Penn State relies
on the expertise, sensitivity, and commitment of an inclusive faculty to
enhance diversity, seek equity, and create a welcoming environment within
our community. We are committed to nurturing a learning and working
environment that respects differences in culture, age, gender, race,
ethnicity, physical ability, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation.
We understand that our shared future is guided by basic principles of
fairness, mutual respect, and commitment to each other. We strive to meet
the needs of professional families by actively assisting with partner
placement needs of newly hired faculty members.

and
include: (1) a cover letter addressed to Professor Kenneth Davis, Search
