The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Tulane University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level. We seek a broad-based geoscientist with research interests in the general field of Low Temperature Geochemistry that complement current faculty expertise and offer potential for collaborative research. Research fields of expertise could include, but are not limited to aqueous, isotope, organic, bio, and/or atmospheric geochemistry. We particularly seek candidates with postdoctoral experience.

Faculty in the College of Liberal Arts are expected to maintain an active program of scholarly research, to develop and teach undergraduate and graduate courses, mentor and advise undergraduate and graduate students, and contribute service to the department, college, and profession. Tenure-track assistant professors teach four semester-length courses per academic year across undergraduate and graduate levels. The successful candidate will be expected to develop courses that bolster our STEM curricula offerings. Salary will be competitive, dependent upon the successful candidate's qualifications and experience, and consistent with collegiate and University policies.

At the time of consideration for promotion and tenure, all candidates must meet or exceed the minimum standards for tenure and rank review in the Department of GES, as required by Section 7.12 of the Regents Policy on Faculty Tenure. The Standards for Promotion and Tenure for the Department of Geography, Environment, and Society are available at: https://faculty.umn.edu/sites/faculty.umn.edu/files/2020-09/geography_0.pdf For information on the Workload Principles and Guidelines for regular faculty in the College of Liberal Arts, see: https://neighborhood.cla.umn.edu/college-knowledge/workload-principles-and-guidelines

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)

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. For further information, please contact Search Committee Chair: Temirlan Moldogaziev (timatm@psu.edu)
