Tenure-track faculty positions – Georgia Tech

The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions in climate sciences. We are seeking candidates interested in understanding the mechanisms of the climate system through a variety of approaches, including theory, development and application of models of variable complexity, and synthesis of observational data. Areas of particular interest to the department include atmospheric and climate dynamics, ocean-atmosphere interactions, extreme weather events, land-atmosphere interactions, hydroclimate, cryosphere, and paleoclimate.
