Description
The Climate School at Columbia University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position: the Paros Professorship in Geohazards and Climate Mitigation. The successful candidate will conduct research in climate-change related geohazards, such as landslides, wildfires, flooding, and extreme weather events, and mitigation capable of alleviating the impacts of such hazards. We seek broadly-trained earth and environmental scientists or environmental engineers who complement the interdisciplinary faculty at Columbia Climate School and the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (where the position will be based). While candidates from all sub-disciplines of earth and environmental science and engineering are encouraged to apply, preferences will be given to those who work on field instrumentation and laboratory experimentation, satellite remote sensing, and sensor development.

Qualifications
Applicants should have a PhD in earth and environmental sciences or engineering or related field. Successful candidates are expected to demonstrate a commitment to diversity and equity in education through their scholarship, teaching, and service.

Application Instructions
A complete application should include: 1) cover letter, 2) curriculum vitae, 3) summary of current and proposed research (max. two pages), 4) statement of teaching interests (max. one page), 5) statement of commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion (max. one page), and 6) names and email addresses of three references.

We are deeply committed to increasing diversity and especially encourage applications from under-represented groups. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by October 15, 2024.
