POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT The College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) at Oregon State University announces a tenure track faculty position in Atmospheric Sciences. We seek a colleague with interests and expertise in large-scale atmosphere-ocean interactions; especially processes relevant to variability on seasonal, interannual, decadal, and longer timescales, and to natural and anthropogenic climate change. Possible phenomena of interest include the seasonal cycle, El Nino-Southern Oscillation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the North Atlantic/Arctic Oscillation and the Southern Annular Mode. The successful candidate's research will contribute to expanding COAS research programs in atmosphere-ocean interaction, climate variability and change, and carbon cycle research.

QUALIFICATIONS: Essential qualifications include a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences, or a closely related field, interest in mentoring and teaching of graduate students, a record of significant and innovative research related to atmosphere-ocean interactions, and clear potential to attract external funding. This individual should have a broad understanding of climate processes of the large-scale atmosphere-ocean system, and of dynamical modeling or analysis techniques.
