The Department of Geological Sciences at Brown University announces a tenure-track faculty position in climate modeling. We seek to integrate climate and paleoclimate modeling as a component in our Earth System History research group, which is a leader in the use of multi-proxy records to understand climate change and environmental response from deep time through the present. We invite applications from climate modelers with fundamental training in ocean, atmosphere, and/or climate dynamics and who could enhance Brown's strengths in paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, biogeochemistry, environmental change, planetary processes, and regional climate modeling and prediction. Experience in the application of climate system models and/or models of varying complexity to paleoclimate problems is preferred. This appointment will have opportunities to collaborate with colleagues in Brown's Center for Computation and Scientific Visualization, Department of Applied Mathematics, Center for Fluid Dynamics, Environmental Change Initiative, Center for Environmental Studies, and the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole. The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an active, externally funded research program and enjoy a commitment to teaching ?at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Appointment is expected at the Assistant Professor level. However, applications and nominations of exceptional candidates at higher ranks will also be considered.

To apply, please email in PDF format a letter of interest addressed to Jim Russell (Chair of the Search Committee), a current CV, statements of research and teaching interests, and contact information for at least three references to ESHsearch@Brown.edu. Applications must be received by Dec. 16, 2011, in order to receive full consideration, but the search will remain open until the position is closed or filled. A Ph.D. is required at the time of the appointment. The anticipated start date of the position would be July 1, 2012.
