Brown University Tenure Track Position in Earth, Environmental & Planetary
Sciences (DEEPS)
https://apply.interfolio.com/193121 https://apply.interfolio.com/193121
Description
The Department of Earth, Environmental & Planetary Sciences (DEEPS) at
Brown University is searching for a tenure-track faculty member at the
level of Assistant Professor whose research focuses broadly on the use of
geochemistry to study changes and feedbacks in Earth’s climate system.
Progress on the most pressing challenges in climate science increasingly
requires an approach that blends cutting-edge, novel observations and
field/lab-based measurements with numerical models of the Earth system. We
seek a faculty member studying changes in Earth’s climate and the surface
Earth system across a variety of timescales with the expertise to tackle
these challenges. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to,
analytical and experimental geochemistry, applications of isotope
geochemistry to climate science, biogeochemical measurements and modeling,
data-model intercomparison, critical zone science, chemical oceanography,
and geochemistry at the interface of earth resources and environmental
solutions. The candidate’s research portfolio should advance and leverage
existing strengths in DEEPS in analytical geochemistry,
paleoceanography/paleoclimatology, terrestrial biogeochemistry, remote
sensing, physical oceanography, and climate modeling.
Qualifications
Applicants are required to hold a Ph.D. prior to the expected start date of
the position (July 1, 2027).
Application Instructions
The following documents must be submitted online as PDFs to:
https://apply.interfolio.com/193121
