[pccgrads] PCC Director Search-seeking your nominations and input by Mon Nov 17

[Miriam Bertram via Pcc_all via pccgrads]

Dear PCC Community,

The College of the Environment is in the process of selecting the next
Director of the
Program on Climate Change. Becky Alexander accepted the position of Interim
Chair of
Atmospheric and Climate Science this spring and our interim director, Kyle
Armour, will
serve through December. We aim to have a permanent PCC director beginning in
Winter 2026.

The interim Dean of the College of the Environment, Joel Thornton, has
assembled a
search committee of T.J. Fudge (ESS, lead), Miriam Bertram (PCC Staff),
Alison Gray
(OCN), Becky Alexander (ATM), and Tara Kalia (OCN graduate student).

Your input is of value to this process! Please take a quick moment to come
up with a
couple of UW faculty you think would do a great job. Self-nominations are
also very
welcome. The goal here is to cast a wide net and find the best candidates,
It is also
important that the Dean sees that the PCC is a vibrant and active program.
Your
participation in providing nominations is a measure of that vibrancy. If
you find it hard to
think of names, you can also send us your views on what is important in
this search.
Nominations and suggestions should be submitted to Miriam in the PCC office
(uwpcc at
uw.edu), and can be kept anonymous upon request. Nominees will be asked to
answer
a short series of questions about their vision for the PCC moving forward.
The search
committee is tasked with making recommendations to the Dean, who will then
negotiate
with potential directors.

Please do express your enthusiasm and support for the PCC, and take that
moment
now, today, or as soon as possible.
*Nominations will be accepted until MondayNovember 17.*

A description of the current director responsibilities is attached.

Thank you in advance for helping,

T.J., Miriam, Tara, Alison and Becky
