Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) - Numerical Ocean Modeling

FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Position Details

The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at The City College of New York (CCNY) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Numerical Ocean Modeling. We seek an innovative physical or biogeochemical ocean scientist with deep expertise in computational and numerical modeling to investigate dynamic coastal processes. Preference will be given to candidates utilizing advanced computational and data-driven methodologies, including data assimilation and machine learning, to understand and predict coastal aquatic and marine processes.

Areas of interest include coastal and estuarine circulation, ocean mixing and transport, biological and biogeochemical processes, and the physical and ecological responses of urban and coastal systems to extreme events or other environmental changes. We are highly interested in scientists using multiscale modeling approaches that bridge global climate or Earth system frameworks with high-resolution coastal and estuarine processes.

The successful candidate is expected to establish a vigorous, externally funded research program that expands and complements departmental strengths while contributing to interdisciplinary research in coastal resilience across CCNY and the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Teaching responsibilities include developing and delivering innovative undergraduate and graduate courses in computational oceanography, coastal physical processes, and related Earth science disciplines.

QUALIFICATIONS

Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in Earth and atmospheric sciences, oceanography, environmental science, applied mathematics, computer/data science, engineering, or a closely related field.

Also required are the ability to teach successfully, demonstrated scholarship or achievement, and ability to cooperate with others for the good of the institution.

Preferred Qualifications

• Postdoctoral or equivalent research experience in a relevant field.

• Ability to teach effectively across a wide range of learning styles and levels, from undergraduates to doctoral students.

• Evidence of scholarly achievement and the ability to work collaboratively for the good of the institution.

• Demonstrate the potential to maintain an extramurally funded research program.
