Senior scholars focused on theoretical and applied computational and data-driven inquiry, with expertise in one or more areas of data science, broadly conceived, are encouraged to apply. Because of our focus on environmental systems, geospatial and spatiotemporal approaches to data science are of particular interest. Priority research and teaching foci include, but are not limited to the theory, methods, and computational tools for analyzing very large environmental data sets, including remote sensing data with high spatial, temporal or spectral resolution, sensor network data, and social or organizational data, with application to environmental and ecological monitoring and forecasting; energy and environmental policy analysis; coupled human and natural system modeling; integrated assessment models; or climate change projections, impacts, and adaptations.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with a rich array of academic and research units engaged in environmental and sustainability research at Boston University including the Sustainability Research Institute, Center for Remote Sensing, BU Marine Program, the Institute for Sustainable Energy, BU Biogeosciences program, BU URBAN program, the BU Initiative on Cities, and the Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future. They will also contribute to development of curricula and degree programs in environmental data science and sustainability at the undergraduate, professional Masters, and PhD level. Given Boston University's strategic investment in Data Science and Sustainability, the successful candidate will have excellent opportunities to translate theory and research results into real-world impact by collaborating with stakeholders at the local, national, and international scale.
To apply, please submit a cover letter, CV, research and teaching statements (including a statement on diversity and inclusion) to https://www.academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22121. Informal queries may be addressed to the co-chairs of the search committee, Mark Crovella (crovella@bu.edu) and Michael Dietze (dietze@bu.edu).
