Tenure-track Faculty Positions in Climate: Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

JOB DESCRIPTION

The MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences has been undergoing a major expansion of its activities in climate science. Positions have recently been filled in the areas of atmospheric chemistry, paleoclimate and ocean biogeochemical cycles. We seek applicants for further appointments in climate-related fields, especially as they pertain to observations, models and theory in atmospheric dynamics and physical oceanography. Preference will be given to junior appointments at the assistant professor level, but a more senior appointment can be considered for an individual with exceptional qualifications.

REQUIREMENTS

The successful candidates will have a strong record of accomplishment in their discipline, a strong commitment to teaching and student advising, and a keen interest in relating their work to complementary research in the Department and/or in the MIT/Woods Hole Joint Program in Oceanography. Joint appointments with other MIT departments can be negotiated as appropriate.

HOW TO APPLY

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, one-page descriptions of research and teaching plans, and the names, email addresses, and phone numbers of three professional referees. Please do not ask your referees to upload letters at the time of application; letters will be requested directly by MIT.

Questions may be addressed to Prof. John Marshall, Search Committee Chair, at jmarsh@mit.edu.

Applications are being accepted at Academic Jobs Online. (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo)

To receive consideration, a complete application must be received by February 31, 2014.
