The Department of Geography and Earth Sciences in the College of Humanities & Earth and Social Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor specializing in atmospheric remote sensing. This position will begin on August 15, 2024.

Qualifications. The Department is seeking expertise that leverages remote sensing to address questions related to topics such as precipitation, cloud cover, aerosols, air pollution, or radiative transfer, and their interactions with Earth's climate and weather systems. Candidates are required to have earned a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences, Meteorology, or a closely related discipline at the time of appointment. Preferred candidates will be those who: (1) Provide evidence of scholarly productivity or potential, describe plans to develop a sustainable externally-funded (e.g. NASA, NOAA, NSF) research program, and describe how their research will incorporate both graduate and undergraduate students; and (2) Demonstrate the ability and desire to contribute to the Department's interdisciplinary graduate and undergraduate teaching. Contributions include developing new graduate and/or undergraduate courses in Meteorology and/or Earth Sciences, as well as supporting existing undergraduate courses in either of those subjects. Finalists will be asked to discuss how their teaching practices engage students of different ages, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, identities, and abilities, helping to remove barriers in order to ensure the success of all students regardless of their entry pathway into the university.

Application. Candidates should submit the following to https://jobs.charlotte.edu/ [Position Number 6903]: (1) a cover letter; (2) a research statement; (3) a teaching statement; (4) a curriculum vitae; and (5) contact information (including email addresses) for at least three professional references.
