The Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for a professor in climate-related extreme events and hazards, and their environmental impacts. This permanent position will be located in Boulder, Colorado.
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.
Applications should include:
- A two-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;
- A two-page (maximum) teaching statement describing the candidate’s approach to, and past experiences in, classroom teaching and mentoring and 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 two-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; and
- 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 applicants will need to enter contact information for three references, and the hiring committee will request letters of recommendation.
The position is anticipated to start August 2025.
