Position Description and Application Procedure:
The Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) at the University of Colorado, Boulder seeks applications for a faculty position in climate-related extreme events and hazards, and their environmental impacts. Applications from scholars who study climate-related hazards at the surface-atmosphere interface (e.g. hydrometeorology) and terrestrial-aquatic interface are encouraged. Researchers who study hazards on human time scales (e.g. days to decades) and with direct societal impact are of particular interest. Specific foci of applicants may include floods, droughts, wildfires, glacial failure, and / or landslides; compounding aspects of these hazards are also of interest. INSTAAR is particularly interested in candidates who utilize some combination of numerical and process modeling, remote sensing, field monitoring and observations, and potentially laboratory experiments. The position is anticipated to start August 2025.
INSTAAR conducts interdisciplinary research on the past, present and future of Earth systems. Our research spans many scientific disciplines (aquatic sciences, atmospheric sciences, biogeosciences, cryospheric sciences, Earth surface processes, ecology and evolutionary biology, environmental engineering, hydrology, ocean sciences, and paleoclimatology).
For more information, please visit http://instaar.colorado.edu.
The new hire will be appointed in INSTAAR and jointly in one of the following academic departments: Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences; Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering; Environmental Studies; Geography; or Geological Sciences. Candidates’ teaching interests should align with the teaching needs of one of these academic departments. With this hire, INSTAAR endeavors to enhance its research interdisciplinarity while continuing to do cutting edge research at the forefront of the scientific community.
To apply, please submit the following materials:
- A 2-page (maximum) diversity statement that expresses the applicant’s commitment to the principles of inclusive excellence and demonstrates how they have put that commitment into action.

Applicants should indicate which of the potential tenure home departments their teaching is best aligned with and list the courses in the department that they would be most excited to teach.
- A 2-page (maximum) research statement describing the candidate’s current and anticipated future research program and illustrating the ways in which this program aligns with INSTAAR’s historical areas of excellence (cold regions, Earth’s past climate, Earth surface processes, greenhouse gases, long-term ecological change).
- A current Curriculum Vitae, including an enumerated list of the applicant’s peer-reviewed publications and funded proposals.
- A letter of interest addressed to the search committee, including the names, and contact information, of three individuals who may be contacted for letters of recommendation.
During the application process you will need to enter contact information for three references, and we will request letters of recommendation.
Note: Application materials will not be accepted via email. For consideration, applications must be submitted through CU Jobs at: Assistant Professor - Climate-Related Extreme Events (colorado.edu).
