The Department of Geography at The Ohio State University invites applications for a tenure-track position in weather/climate data analytics at the Assistant Professor rank.

We plan to enhance the synergy between our Atmospheric Science and GIScience undergraduate and graduate programs by hiring an individual with expertise spanning multiple areas of scholarship. The successful candidate will be expected to attract external funding and have a strong commitment to teaching and student mentorship at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. We seek applicants with a demonstrated commitment to facilitating diversity, equity and inclusion in the classroom and in their research programs. Outstanding opportunities for collaboration exist with other campus centers and units, including the Translational Data Analytics Institute, Sustainability Institute and the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center.

A Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science, Geography or a closely related field is required. All applicants are expected to have fundable research programs and to contribute to both graduate and undergraduate supervision and instruction. Preferred qualifications include experience with developing or working in interdisciplinary research teams, university teaching, and mentoring members of underrepresented groups. Appointment is contingent on the university’s verification of credentials and other information required by law and/or university policies, including but not limited to a criminal background check.
