Review of applications will begin: 15 October 2001
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled
The Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), University of
Colorado at Boulder, invites applications for an assistant professor
tenure-track position in Quaternary Paleoclimate Studies. We seek
applicants whose research utilizes quantitative paleoenvironmental
studies at global to regional scales to better understand the global
climate system. Applicants should complement established strengths
within INSTAAR (paleoceanography, terrestrial paleoecology, Quaternary
geochronology, ice-core paleochemistry, and biogeochemistry), and
related strengths within the University and nearby Federal labs (NOAA,
NCAR, USGS). Applicants whose research addresses processes and
mechanisms of climate change on timescales relevant to society
(Quaternary studies) are preferred. Candidates will have a record or
demonstrated potential of developing extramural research support and
graduate student supervision; postdoctoral experience is desirable.
Tenure will be with a partnering unit (e.g., Geography, Environmental
Studies, Geological Sciences) according to the interests of the
candidate and departmental goals. The successful applicant will be
expected to have a strong commitment to teaching at the undergraduate
level and to participating in the graduate program in Quaternary
studies.
Additional information about INSTAAR and the University of Colorado may
be found at http://instaar.colorado.edu.
Applicants should submit a brief description of research and teaching
interests, curriculum vitae, and names of four referees to Gifford
Miller, Search Committee Chair, pclimate [at] colorado.edu, INSTAAR,
University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0450.
Because of recent world events, we have extended the time-line on our
selection process. We will start to review applications 15 October 2001,
but will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.
Applications received before the end of October will receive the highest
priority.
