Our Ability Jobs

Employer Name: Yale University

The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) at Yale University invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in the broadly defined area of Earth system modeling. A start date of July 2025 or later is expected for this position. We anticipate an appointment at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at the Associate Professor level (with tenure) will also be considered. Examples of relevant areas include (but are not limited to) large-scale dynamics and feedbacks among physical, chemical, and biological processes at Earth?s surface, in the ocean, and in the atmosphere; the past evolution of Earth?s climate; coupling of biogeochemical cycling and climate dynamics in the past and present; and development of predictive frameworks for forecasting future global change and its impacts on the Earth system. We are especially interested in candidates who develop and use modeling approaches to address key scientific questions related to the Earth as a system and its evolution through time. We seek candidates who will develop outstanding research programs, who have strong prospects for exceptional scholarly impact and teaching excellence, and who will enhance the existing strengths of the Department and University. The successful applicant will develop and implement a self-directed, externally funded research program; advise students; facilitate interdisciplinary research; and teach courses in Earth system science and related areas. Applicants should submit (1) a letter of application (1 page), (2) a curriculum vitae including a full list of publications, (3) a statement of research interests (3 pages), and (4) a statement of interests in teaching, mentoring, and broader impacts (2-3 pages). Broader impacts may include, for example, public education and outreach activities, impacts on diversity, equity, and inclusion, efforts to strengthen academic communities, and other positive societal benefits. While broader impacts may include efforts to promote diversity, the statement is not required to focus on this topic. Applicants at the Assistant Professor level should arrange for three confidential letters of recommendation to be uploaded at the time of application. Applications should be submitted online at http://apply.interfolio.com/153329 . Those that arrive before November 4, 2024 will receive full consideration.

Questions regarding the application process can be addressed to Laura Myer, Chair?s Assistant ( laura.myer@yale.edu ).
