The University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez invites applications for a tenure-track position focused on teaching and conducting research in atmospheric physics.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, physics of the atmosphere, or a closely related field by date of hire. Evidence of a strong physics background and ability to teach calculus-based introductory physics courses is required. Having relevant post-doctoral experience is highly desirable.
Specialization in Atmospheric Physics, Atmospheric Science, Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, or Climate Physics: Applicants must specialize in a field related to the atmospheric sciences and demonstrate a strong background in physics. Some areas of interest include atmospheric microphysics, atmospheric radiative processes, computational approaches to synoptic, mesoscale, and extreme meteorological phenomena, climatology and climate physics, remote sensing techniques and instrumentation, and tropical meteorology. If the applicant's native language is not Spanish, they must be able to initially communicate and teach fluently in English and, by the end of the 5-year tenure evaluation period, be able to communicate effectively in Spanish.
Provide the following documents:
-
Cover letter (including announcement number for which you are applying, e-mail, address, and phone number)
-
MS (if applicable) and Ph.D. transcripts
-
Three (3) letters of recommendation. (It is expected that one of the letters should be written by the applicant's Ph.D. advisor).
-
Detailed research and teaching statements in a single PDF file (1-2 pages)
-
Copy of three (3) peer-reviewed publications in topics related to Atmospheric Science.
