Professor - Experimental aspects of Climate Systems Engineering environmental geoscience

About this position

The Department of the Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago invites applications for tenured faculty positions from scholars who will make significant contributions to the experimental aspects of Climate Systems Engineering. The University is building a world-leading Climate Systems Engineering initiative with multiple faculty hires. We seek individuals who will lead research programs that will produce significant contributions to their field and to this research initiative. Applications are welcome from geoscientists with expertise in laboratory or field experimental work and who expect to contribute to the understanding of climate systems engineering at the rank of tenured Professor. Applications are welcome from scholars who have not previously worked on climate systems engineering. Examples include, but are not limited to, work on environmental science or geochemistry relevant to open-system carbon removal, atmospheric measurements or laboratory work applicable to solar geoengineering, or cryosphere science relevant to glacial interventions. Research on Climate Systems Engineering is inherently interdisciplinary, so we seek individuals with a track record of collaboration beyond their discipline; the University’s culture is highly collaborative. Qualifications: Completion of all requirements for a PhD is required at time of appointment. Candidates must have evidence of leadership in their field and a record of independent research.
