3 x tenure-line faculty members, climate science and solutions - Pennsylvania, USA
01 November 2022 - 09:50
Pennsylvania,
United States
Theme
Category
Logistics
Penn State looks to accelerate innovation in research and solutions at the University and beyond to mitigate the societal impacts of climate change. To that end, Penn State is recruiting three full-time, tenure-line faculty members with research expertise relevant to climate solutions. This cluster hire includes an initial three positions, with additional opportunities anticipated, recognizing the University’s international leadership in climate research and scholarship.
Description
These positions include tenure-line faculty positions co-funded by the Institutes of Energy and the Environment in the following areas:
- Climate Impact Prediction in Support of Solutions and Climate Justice
- Climate Risk and Decision-making
- Climate Policy and Environmental Justice
1. Climate Impact Prediction in Support of Solutions and Climate Justice
Department of Meteorology, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences
In this position, we seek a colleague whose research would use state-of-the-art understanding of earth and atmospheric sciences to advance the accuracy and precision of climate predictions purposefully designed to benefit vulnerable populations. The societal need for accurate and precise, stakeholder-relevant climate predictions (e.g., heat waves, flooding and drought intensification, ecosystem degradation, air quality, sea level rise) is overwhelming. Thus, while the faculty member would pursue fundamental research to improve climate predictions, the work would be guided by the needs of vulnerable populations. This hire will fill a critical gap between traditional disciplinary expertise in atmospheric science and the overwhelming need for climate science to be designed to help people adapt to climate change. For further information, please contact Search Committee Chair: Kelly Lombardo (lombardo@psu.edu)
Details and apply: https://psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Academic/details/Assistant-Professor_REQ_0000037072-1?q=REQ_0000037072
2. Climate Risk and Decision-making
Department of Geosciences, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences
In this position we seek a colleague who can lead convergent research at the interface of geosciences, climate science, impacts, adaptation, and decision-making under deep uncertainty. Climate change poses compound and cascading risks to natural systems, people, institutions, and built environments, and we are increasingly forced to make hard decisions about managing these risks and formulating responses to them. The person hired will be expected to conduct transdisciplinary research on decision making for climate risks, addressing considerations of vulnerability, resilience, equity, and impacts to critical infrastructure and vulnerable communities. We are especially interested in applicants who integrate various methodological approaches as they are applied to climate risk, policy, and societal impacts. Attractive areas of interest are broadly defined and include but are not limited to: climatic and geophysical drivers of risk; climate hazards and risks (wildfires/storms/floods/sea level rise/coastal hazards); decision analytics for risk management and adaptation. This hire will build a bridge with traditional geosciences disciplines and facilitate much needed research on the risk of climate change to communities along with strategies for adaptation. For further information, please contact Search Committee Chair: Timothy Bralower (tjb26@psu.edu)

3. Climate Policy and Environmental Justice
School of Public Policy, College of the Liberal Arts
We seek an interdisciplinary, tenure-line scholar who addresses social inequities in their research and who can provide instruction on environmental policies and policy analysis. Successful candidates are expected to pursue scholarship to understand the consequences of policy action and inaction as well as the decision-making processes that lead to environmental policy decisions. We are especially interested in candidates who will offer critical analysis of the design, implementation, and effectiveness of policies intended to address pressing challenges, such as those related to climate, environmental justice, and equitable resource access.

We seek an outstanding scholar and teacher who will establish an innovative research program with clear societal relevance addressing issues within the Critical Zone, involving interactions between the solid Earth, soil, water, and/or the atmosphere.
Potential areas of research could include, but are not limited to, atmospheric sciences and extreme weather, water resources, alternative energy, carbon dioxide reduction/climate change mitigation, and natural hazards. Research may involve field work, laboratory analyses, experimentation, interpretation of large data sets, and/or computer modeling.
We are especially interested in candidates who are enthusiastic about providing undergraduate research opportunities, mentoring of students, and cultivating a diverse learning community. The successful candidate will offer an introductory Geoscience course accessible to both majors and non-majors (thereby contributing to the new general education curriculum: https://www.union.edu/common-curriculum/general-education-union), a 200-300 level course within the core Geoscience curriculum (e.g. geochemistry, mineralogy, geomorphology, or sedimentology), and electives based on their area of expertise. The position is within the Department of Geoscience, but may also contribute to our programs in Environmental Science, Policy, and Engineering, and a new major in Environmental Engineering.
The Department of Geosciences at Union College is committed to teaching and mentoring students in the classroom and in our active research programs. The Department is well equipped for the analysis of water, rock, and sediment and is home to LA-ICP-MS, stable isotope, ion chromatography, and sediment core laboratories, as well as shared analytical facilities within the sciences (including, SEM, HPLC, and XRD) available for research and teaching (see https://www.union.edu/geology/geology-equipment).
The Department is part of the Keck Geology Consortium which promotes undergraduate research. The College is situated in close proximity to both the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains (see https://muse.union.edu/adirondack/), the Mohawk River, numerous lakes, and urban and suburban areas. This provides a fascinating and diverse regional geology that drives vibrant field research and teaching.
Union College is a small, highly selective liberal arts college with strengths in science and engineering located in Schenectady, NY, a culturally rich and economically diverse city in New York State's Capital Region within three hours from New York City, Boston, and Montreal. Union offers an exceptional benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision insurance, life and disability coverage, and generous retirement and tuition benefit packages.

We strongly encourage applications from members of traditionally underrepresented groups. We value and are committed to a host of diverse populations and cultures including, but not limited to, those based on race, religion, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, national origin, and veteran status.
All candidates must have a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in a geoscience-related field. Successful candidates will demonstrate the potential to develop an independent research program, as evidenced by scholarship and productivity during graduate and/or postdoctoral activities. Preference will also be given to those who have a demonstrated interest in undergraduate research and teaching.
Successful candidates will detail an interest, understanding, and commitment to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion – with preference for a demonstrated ability to contribute to inclusion of groups that are underrepresented in the geosciences through education, research, and/or service. This position is conditional on budget.
Interested candidates should submit the following via our portal at http://jobs.union.edu. We will begin review of applications on Nov. 15, 2022 and will continue until the position is filled, the application portal will close Dec 1, 2022. Please submit the following with your application: 1) Cover letter, 2) CV, 3) Statement of research experience and interests, 4) Statement of teaching experience and philosophy, and 5) Statement of contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
You will be asked to include names and contact information for three references through our online application system at jobs.union.edu. An email will be sent automatically to references requesting a letter of recommendation. For additional information or questions please contact D.P. Gillikin at geologychair@union.edu
