Assistant, Associate or Professor - Institute of Atmospheric Sciences

 The Institute of Atmospheric Sciences at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is seeking an atmospheric scientist for a faculty position in atmospheric sciences to complement and expand current areas of research in cloud physics, radar meteorology, land surface processes, numerical modeling, fire weather and biogeochemistry. We are interested in candidates with expertise in remote sensing and in situ observational meteorology and data analysis, particularly as applied to the topics of interest indicated above. Applicants should possess a PhD in Meteorology, Atmospheric Sciences, or a related physical or natural sciences field, or obtain it by the start date. We seek an individual who will acquire external research funding, and who will actively recruit and interact with graduate and undergraduate students in the Atmospheric Science program. The Institute also seeks to increase its outreach to encourage the interest of underrepresented minorities (with an emphasis on the regional Native American population) in atmospheric and environmental sciences. The successful applicant will join other Institute scientists as a non-tenure track faculty member in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences and will teach from two to four courses per academic year. The department offers a curriculum that satisfies federal requirements for civil service employment as a meteorologist. Degree programs include an Atmospheric Science track in the Interdisciplinary Science BS degree, a MS in Atmospheric Science, and a PhD in Atmospheric and Environmental Science. 

The School of Mines is committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce.  To apply for this position, applicants must apply on-line at http://sdmines.sdsmt.edu/sdsmt/employment.  If you need an accommodation to the on-line application process, please contact Human Resources (605) 394-1203.  Review of applications will begin February 17, 2010, and will continue until the position is filled.
