Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Mathematics and Physics of Climate at the University of Colorado, Boulder
Ian Grooms
Dear Colleagues,
The Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder invites applications for a tenure track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level to begin August 2025. The Department is seeking candidates whose research develops, analyzes, and applies innovative mathematical methods to study the fundamental physical components of the climate system: Atmosphere, Oceans, and Cryosphere. Research of interest includes, for example,
Development and analysis of fundamental mathematical or statistical models of physical processes in the climate system
Development and analysis of new computational methods to advance Earth system model accuracy and efficiency
Development, analysis, and application of new, advanced data science methods to observation or simulation data
Laboratory space is available, and the department welcomes applications from scholars whose research includes an experimental component.
Successful candidates will have a PhD in applied mathematics or a related area, postdoctoral experience, a strong research record, a commitment to supporting the diverse student populations in our department and its associated campus educational mission, and a dedication to teaching excellence in our undergraduate and graduate programs.
The position is part of a cluster hire in the area of Climate Physics and Mathematics with linked positions in the Departments of Physics and of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. The Earth’s climate is affected by physical processes at work in the cryosphere, ocean, and atmosphere and the study of these processes involves a wide array of methods: observational, experimental, theoretical, and computational. Collaborations between physicists, mathematicians, and climate scientists are needed to make progress across many of the most challenging problems in climate science. CU Boulder is uniquely poised to rapidly become the leading institution in the world in the field of climate physics and mathematics.
All applicants should submit their application online at https://jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail/?jobId=59483.
Note that this position is in the same department but is distinct from the position in the mathematics of data science, https://jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail/?jobId=59406.
