Professor of Climate-Driven Hazards and Earth Surface Dynamics

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position in Climate-Driven Hazards and Earth Surface Dynamics studies to begin August 25 2027. This is a university year appointment and will be at the tenured rank of associate professor or professor.

The department seeks to hire an innovative impactful faculty member in the area of Earth surface processes natural hazards or hydro-climate extremes. We seek candidates with robust interdisciplinary research portfolios that advance the science of environmental extremes and their impact on climate and land surface hazards. We encourage applications from candidates whose research complements departmental strengths in geohazards climate change (past and present) Great Lakes science biogeochemistry/geobiology and oceanography.

The Departments new NSF Center for Land Surface Hazards (CLaSH) offers exciting opportunities for collaboration; applicants with potential for participation in this Center and collaboration with others working on climate and environmental hazards across campus will be prioritized. Candidates who integrate climate modeling Earth surface dynamics modeling remote sensing field observations geochemistry environmental geophysics or geospatial analysis techniques to link surface processes and climate-driven hazards are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will also contribute to graduate and undergraduate teaching in Earth and Environmental Sciences.

The successful candidate will hold a PhD.
