SCIENTIFIC STAFF POSITIONS IN CLIMATE RESEARCH
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) announces the second year of its joint initiative in climate research amongst the Departments of Physical Oceanography, Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry, and Geology and Geophysics, and invites applications for tenure-track and tenured scientific staff positions. The goal of the multi-year initiative is to grow a strong interdisciplinary climate research program at WHOI, and several hires were made in the first cycle. We seek scientists who will complement or broaden existing institutional research in paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, glaciology, ocean circulation and processes, the ocean’s role in climate and the global water cycle, chemical oceanography and marine biogeochemistry. A successful candidate will hold an appointment in the department most appropriate to his/her research, and will be expected to interact with members of other departments.
Possible research areas include, but are not limited to, observation and analysis of contemporary and paleo- climate variability and trends from Ocean-Atmosphere-Cryosphere-Land datasets; climate observing systems utilization and/or development; biogeochemical cycles and climate; development and/or application of geochemical proxies within geological archives; coupled ocean/atmosphere processes in climate; climate dynamics; diagnosis of model outputs from climate simulations of past, present, or future climate and comparison to existing data sets. Funding opportunities exist with the WHOI Ocean and Climate Change Institute (OCCI) to initiate and support interdisciplinary climate research projects. There are opportunities for participation in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program, and for broader climate research collaborations within WHOI (the Biology and Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Departments and the Marine Policy Center) and with the other two institutions of the Woods Hole Consortium, the Marine Biology Laboratory, and the Woods Hole Research Center.
Applicants should have a doctoral degree, postdoctoral experience and a publication record in a climate research area such as physical, paleo- or chemical oceanography, atmospheric or climate dynamics, or related fields. Women and minority applicants are particularly encouraged, and WHOI is sensitive to the issues of dual career scientists and will work with applicants to address them. A successful candidate’s level of appointment will depend upon background and experience.

Research Positions in Ocean Modeling
The Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, invites applications for multiple postdoctoral research associate or research scientist positions. The successful candidates will join a team that is developing and applying ocean circulation, biogeochemistry, and carbon models within both global coupled climate simulations and high-resolution regional process simulations, including data assimilation. Regions of specific interest include, but are not limited to, the polar oceans. The positions involve collaboration with: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, JHU Applied Physics Laboratory, and/or the Center for Environmental and Applied Fluid Mechanics at Johns Hopkins. Further information about our relevant research and these collaborations is at: http://www.jhu.edu/~thaine1/ and http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/anand-gnanadesikan-home-page
An ideal candidate will be a creative independent thinker with a Ph.D. in dynamical or chemical oceanography, but applicants in related fields will also be closely considered. Knowledge in one or more of the following areas is advantageous: ocean circulation, ocean biogeochemistry, numerical ocean models, data assimilation, and geophysical fluid dynamics. The start date is negotiable, but completion of the Ph.D. is required. The appointment(s) will last up to three years. Appointees will receive a competitive salary and benefits, and eligibility to participate in Johns Hopkins University health plans. To receive full attention, please email by 31 December 2010 your CV plus names and email addresses of three or more referees to Kristen Gaines (kgaines@jhu.edu). Please include “Ocean Researcher Application” in the subject line.
Johns Hopkins University is an equal opportunities/affirmative action employer. Minorities and women are particularly encouraged to apply.

Univ of Delware
University of Delaware. Environmental Faculty Positions
One of the oldest institutions of higher education in this country, the
University of Delaware today combines tradition and innovation, offering
students a rich heritage along with the latest in instructional and
research technology. The University of Delaware is a Land-Grant,
Sea-Grant, and Space-Grant institution with its main campus in Newark,
DE, located halfway between Washington, DC and New York City. Please
visit our website at.
As part of its Path to Prominence Strategic Plan, the University of
Delaware has launched its Initiative for the Planet. The goals of this
initiative are to promote sustainable practices and to support
multidisciplinary efforts in research and education needed to develop
solutions to significant, time-critical issues in energy, the
environment, and resource sustainability. Our overarching objective is
to make the University of Delaware a national and international resource
for environmental research, technology, education, and policy – today
and into the future. To attain this goal, we seek 6-8 outstanding
faculty at all academic ranks in environmental science, engineering, and
policy. Faculty can have appointments in multiple departments and colleges.
To complement these hires we are conducting a search for the Howard E.
Cosgrove Chair in Environment. This internationally renowned scholar
will further enhance the prominence of the University’s environmental
interdepartmental teaching and research programs, and assist in building
the Delaware Environmental Institute (DENIN) to a position of national
and international prominence.
The University of Delaware provides an outstanding environmental
research base through existing strengths in a number of areas including
biogeochemistry, soil and environmental chemistry, environmental
engineering, environmental microbiology, environmental genomics and
bioinformatics, geomicrobiology, land/coastal dynamics, land use,
nutrient management, environmental modeling, hydrology, environmental
forecasting and restoration, ecosystem health and sustainability, and
environmental policy, economics and education. These activities are
carried out across the University’s seven colleges and in a number of
well-regarded institutes and research centers. More details on our
environmental programs can be found at.
The desire to better utilize the strengths in the colleges, institutes,
and centers, and to foster collaboration and enhance competitiveness in
attracting outstanding faculty and students, led to the creation of the
Delaware Environmental Institute in 2009. DENIN’s goals are to initiate
interdisciplinary research projects, support interdisciplinary academic
programs, and forge partnerships among government agencies, nonprofits,
industry, policymakers, and the public to address environmental
challenges and coordinate and sponsor University-based interdisciplinary
initiatives. More details on DENIN can be found at.
Other recent actions which reflect the University's commitment to the
environment and sustainability include an aggressive Climate Action Plan
and the creation of new undergraduate majors in Environmental Studies
and Energy and Environmental Policy. Successful candidates will have the
opportunity to help shape and grow these new majors.
Candidates for the faculty positions are expected to hold a Ph.D. or
equivalent degree in their area of expertise and have a demonstrated
record of excellence in environmental scholarship commensurate with
appointment to a faculty position in one or more departments of the
University. Nominations and applications should be submitted
electronically to Environmental Cluster Search Committee Chair at
. Application materials should include a
statement of interest, curriculum vitae, description of research and
teaching interests and accomplishments, and the names and contact
information of at least four references. Review of applications will
begin on December 15, 2010 and will continue until the positions are filled.
