Two open tenure-line faculty positions at University of Michigan

Climate-Driven Hazards and Earth Surface Dynamics

The Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan is seeking an innovative, impactful faculty member at the associate or full professor level. The ideal candidate will have a robust interdisciplinary research portfolio that advances the science of environmental extremes and their impact on climate and land surface hazards. The position is open to candidates whose research complements departmental strengths in geohazards, climate change (past and present), Great Lakes science, biogeochemistry/geobiology, and oceanography.

• Advancing knowledge of how Earth's biological systems respond to and influence environmental change
• Collaboration with the new NSF Center for Land Surface Hazards (CLaSH)
• Integration of climate modeling, Earth surface dynamics modeling, remote sensing, field observations, geochemistry, environmental geophysics, or geospatial analysis techniques
• Contribute to graduate and undergraduate teaching in EES

Earth System Modeling

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) and the Institute for Global Change Biology (IGCB) at the University of Michigan are seeking a tenure-track faculty member (Assistant Professor) in Earth system modeling. We are particularly interested in candidates who apply Earth system models at regional to global scales to address important scientific questions at the nexus of climate, Earth system, and biospheric change.

• Advancing knowledge of how Earth's biological systems respond to and influence environmental change
• Complementary to related EES departmental strengths, including climate change, Great Lakes science, paleoecology, (bio)geochemistry, geobiology, ocean science, and Earth surface hazards
• Establishing an independent research program complementary to strengths in EES and IGCB
• Contributing to undergraduate and graduate teaching in EES
