The School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) at Stony Brook University invites applications for two tenure-track positions in atmospheric science, with a focus on extreme weather and regional climate change. Successful candidates should contribute towards improving the physical understanding of extreme weather (e.g., tropical cyclones, severe convection, flooding), novel ways to do regional climate downscaling for extreme weather, or the application of remote sensing to address these issues. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in a relevant field, have demonstrated excellence in research, and a strong commitment to teaching.

Stony Brook University has active research efforts to improve understanding and prediction of coastal storms, convective systems, storm surge, seasonal variability, and climate. Successful candidates are expected to develop an independent externally funded research program, to teach and direct research at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and participate in school and university service.

Review of applications will begin on January 15, 2014. The position is expected to start as early as fall 2014. The positions will be filled at the assistant professor level. Candidates should submit a PDF version of a curriculum vitae, a letter of introduction conveying the candidate’s teaching philosophy and proposed research plans, names and contact information of three references, and a Stony Brook University employment application.

More information can be found, and all application materials can be uploaded electronically at the campus job opportunities website (for this position, reference #F-8297-13-11). Alternatively, the above-listed materials may be mailed to:
