FACULTY POSITION IN ATMOSPHERIC/CLIMATE DYNAMICS
The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at Cornell University invites applications for an Assistant Professor in the subject of large-scale atmospheric or climate dynamics. The successful candidate will develop a high quality research program investigating atmospheric systems and processes on large space and time scales, namely from regional to continental spatial scales and on seasonal to inter-annual time scales. Research areas could include but not be limited to climate-weather or ocean-atmosphere interactions. Those with research interests that involve extraterrestrial atmospheres or physical oceanography are also encouraged to apply. The position is one of what is expected to be a series of new appointments as part of a commitment to a major faculty renewal in EAS.
The selected candidate will be a committed educator, enthusiastically teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, advising undergraduate and graduate students, and supervising students at all levels in research. The ideal candidate will be able to interact in teaching and research with colleagues having similar interests at Cornell University, particularly in the Colleges of Engineering and of Agriculture and Life Sciences, in which the Department of EAS is jointly located.
This is a nine-month, tenure-track, professorial position. The responsibilities of the position will be 50% research and 50% teaching. A Ph.D. in atmospheric science or a related science or engineering discipline is required.
Please submit applications to Academic Jobs Online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/8042 as a single pdf (15 mb maximum) that includes (1) a cover letter addressed to the Search Committee Chair, Professor Stephen Colucci, and providing the names and contact information for three individuals who are willing to write letters of recommendation; (2) a curriculum vitae; (3) a research plan; and (4) a statement of teaching interests.

QUANTITATIVE ECOLOGIST
DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY
Cornell University
We invite applications for a tenure track position in quantitative ecology, at the level of Assistant or early Associate Professor. We seek candidates with expertise in analyzing large data sets or modeling of processes from the ecosystem to regional or larger scales, with an emphasis on the interactions of human-accelerated environmental change with ecological structure and function and sustainability. We will consider applicants with a strong theoretical, statistical, and/or computational background studying the interactions between organisms (including humans) and the environment as this influences biogeochemistry, ecological function, climate change, community assembly, or broad-scale patterns in biodiversity. The area of expertise could be in any ecosystem. We are particularly interested in individuals who are developing and applying quantitative methods, who are interested in understanding underlying ecological processes, who work at various scales, and who will collaborate with ecologists and evolutionary biologists as well as scientists in related disciplines across Cornell.
Faculty Position: Assistant or early Associate Professor, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Tenure track, academic-year (9-month) appointment with 50% research and 50% teaching.
Qualifications: Applicants should have a Ph.D., demonstrated excellence in research in some aspect of quantitative ecology, such as analyzing big data sets, remote sensing, ecological observation systems, or ecosystem-scale, regional-scale, or Earth system modeling. Candidates should have a strong interest in collaborative research, and a dedication to excellence in teaching. Post-doctoral experience is highly desirable.
Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be expected to develop a well-funded, innovative research program with a national and international reputation, to teach in an introductory ecology course, and to develop an advanced course in quantitative methods in his or her specialty area.
Salary: Competitive, commensurate with background and experience.
Start Date: July 2017
Application Procedure: Applications should be submitted via the website https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/8040. Candidates should submit a short cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research statement, and a statement of teaching interests and experience.
