This appointment is part of a University-wide initiative in Earth and Planetary Climate. We seek to appoint a candidate who can build a research program on atmospheric processes related to the University?s expanding programs related to exoplanets, Solar System planets and deep-time Earth paleoclimate. Applications are solicited from candidates with track records of innovative research in any pertinent area of atmospheric physics, including (but not limited to) planetary fluid dynamics, atmospheric modeling, radiative transfer, cloud processes or atmospheric chemistry. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated research abilities in more than one of these areas, and will have engaged with research on the climate of Solar System planets and exoplanets. Candidates whose primary research record is in Earth climate, but who have the foundations, curiosity and inclination to expand their research portfolio in the direction of other planets are also welcome to apply.
The successful candidate will hold a doctorate in atmospheric science, or in another physical science discipline pertinent to the behaviour of planetary atmospheres. She or he be expected to develop a world-leading research programme, to teach at undergraduate and graduate level, and participate in the administration of Somerville College and the Physics Department.
