[AO announcement] Faculty Positions in Climate Science

[Rob Black]

Dear Colleagues,

   I would like to bring your attention to an opening for two 
tenure-track faculty positions in climate science within the School of 
Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech (feel free to forward 
this information to others who may be interested):

Faculty Positions in Climate Sciences. The School of Earth and 
Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at Georgia Tech invites applications for two 
tenure-track faculty positions in Climate Sciences. Candidates working 
in the following areas are encouraged to apply: global and regional 
climate dynamics, paleo-climate, biogeochemical cycles, ice sheet 
dynamics, ocean-atmosphere and land-atmosphere interactions. We 
particularly encourage applicants using global or regional scale 
numerical models or remote sensing techniques in their research. 
Applicants at the Assistant Professor level are sought, although 
outstanding individuals at all levels will be considered. We are seeking 
individuals who are interested in working in a dynamic interdisciplinary 
academic and research environment that includes atmospheric chemistry 
and biogeochemistry, weather and climate dynamics, oceanography, 
paleoclimatology, and geophysics. The Georgia Institute of Technology, 
one of the consistently top ranked educational/research institutions in 
the country, is undergoing significant growth in the earth and 
atmospheric sciences. The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences 
currently has 26 faculty members, 95 graduate students, and 70 
undergraduate students and has excellent facilities in the new 265,000 
square-foot Environmental Science and Technology Building. For more 
information about our School and academic programs, visit 
www.eas.gatech.edu. Applicants should send an application letter, 
curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, and 
the names and contact information for at least three references. 
Application materials should be submitted electronically as pdf files to 
susan.ryan at eas.gatech.edu. Requests for information should be directed 
to Dr. Jean Lynch-Stieglitz, Search Committee Chair, at 
jean at eas.gatech.edu, (404) 894-3944. Applications will be considered 
beginning November 15, 2009 but the search will continue until the 
positions are filled. Georgia Tech is a unit of the University System of 
Georgia and an equal education/employment opportunity institution.   


    Best wishes,
     -Rob Black
