Paros Assistant Professor in Geohazards and Climate Mitigation

The Climate School at Columbia University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position: the Paros Professorship in Geohazards and Climate Mitigation. The successful candidate will conduct research in climate-change related geohazards, such as landslides, wildfires, flooding, and extreme weather events, and mitigation capable of alleviating the impacts of such hazards. We seek broadly-trained earth and environmental scientists or environmental engineers who complement the interdisciplinary faculty at Columbia Climate School and the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (where the position will be based). While candidates from all sub-disciplines of earth and environmental science and engineering are encouraged to apply, preferences will be given to those who work on field instrumentation and laboratory experimentation, satellite remote sensing, and sensor development.

Applicants should have a PhD in earth and environmental sciences or engineering or related field. Successful candidates are expected to demonstrate a commitment to diversity and equity in education through their scholarship, teaching, and service.
