Tenure-track faculty position in Atmospheric Sciences, Michigan Technological University

The Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences (GMES) at Michigan Technological University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position (appointment as Assistant, Associate or Full Professor is possible) in atmospheric sciences, with a preference for those with research interests/programs that include field measurements. We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in atmospheric chemistry. The successful applicant will contribute to Michigan Tech’s interdepartmental research and teaching program in Atmospheric Science (www.atmos-sci.mtu.edu).



Atmospheric science activities within the GMES department and Michigan Tech are undergoing major growth, with recent hires in the fields of chemical-transport modeling, remote sensing, aerosol chemistry and climate modeling, complementing existing strengths in volcanology and cloud physics. For more information on the GMES department, see www.geo.mtu.edu. Michigan Tech has a total student population of about 7000 and is located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a pristine area on the south shore of Lake Superior.



Only electronic applications will be accepted, preferably as a single PDF file that includes a detailed CV and statements of research and teaching interests along with a cover letter. Applications should be emailed to atmosearch@mtu.edu. In addition, candidates should arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to the same address. Review of applications will begin on January 15, 2010 and will continue until the position is filled. Informal inquiries may be directed to Dr. Simon Carn (scarn@mtu.edu).



In addition to the present search, a two-year university-wide search to fill up to ten positions in each of the areas "Next-Generation Energy Systems" and "Health: Basic Sciences, Technologies, and Medical Informatics" is underway. Qualified candidates are encouraged to send a separate application, following the "How to Apply" guidelines at www.mtu.edu/sfhi.
