Hi Jim,

My department has a new tenure track position in climate science 
<https://employment.williams.edu/faculty-positions/geosciences-2/>. 
Could you please forward this job ad to WHOI students and postdocs?

Williams is a great place to work, a reasonable teaching load (3 courses 
per year, lecture + lab), bright students, and a lot of support for and 
emphasis on student-faculty research.

Best,
Mea

    Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Geosciences

The Geosciences Department at Williams College invites applications for 
a tenure-track appointment in the broad field of climate science, at the 
rank of Assistant Professor, beginning 1 July 2018. We seek a colleague 
committed to excellence in undergraduate teaching, who will provide a 
balance of classroom, field, and laboratory experiences for our 
students, and develop a vibrant and productive research program that 
engages undergraduates. We are particularly interested in candidates who 
take an interdisciplinary approach to climate science, and who will be 
likely to develop research and teaching collaborations across 
departmental boundaries.

The successful candidate will teach three courses per year (lectures 
plus labs). Teaching responsibilities are likely to include an 
introductory course in weather and climate, as well as higher-level 
courses based on the candidate’s interests. Examples of such courses 
include, but are not limited to: climate system analysis and prediction; 
physical climatology; climate and society; hydroclimatology; applied 
climatology; climate engineering; climate dynamics; economics of climate 
change; statistical analysis of climatologic data; GIS/remote sensing; 
environmental management; climate and policy; cryosphere-climate 
interaction; or energy and the environment. Faculty have broad latitude 
in developing their own courses and we welcome ideas from candidates for 
ways in which they might develop courses that would cross traditional 
disciplinary lines and build dynamic intellectual bridges between 
Geosciences and other departments.

The Geosciences Department (web.williams.edu/Geoscience/ 
<https://web.williams.edu/Geoscience/>) is committed to providing 
excellent training for future geoscientists, as well as teaching earth 
science as part of a balanced liberal arts education. Our department 
works closely with the Center for Environmental Studies 
(ces.williams.edu/ <https://ces.williams.edu/>), and the successful 
candidate will be expected to mount courses that would be cross-listed 
with that program. The College is especially interested in candidates 
who can contribute to the growing diversity of the academic community 
through their teaching, scholarship and service. Enthusiasm for 
teaching, mentoring and advising a diverse population of students is 
essential.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. or dissertation completed by the time of 
appointment, demonstrated teaching experience, and a vigorous research 
program suitable for undergraduate student involvement. Deadline for 
applications is 30 November 2017. We welcome applications from members 
of groups traditionally underrepresented in the field, and applicants 
are asked to state in their cover letter how they will enhance the 
diversity of offerings and educational experiences if hired. All offers 
of employment are contingent upon completion of a background check. 
Further information is available here: 
dean-faculty.williams.edu/prospective-faculty/background-check-policy/ 
<http://dean-faculty.williams.edu/prospective-faculty/background-check-policy/>.

Candidates should apply via Interfolio (apply.interfolio.com/32106 
<http://apply.interfolio.com/32106>). The application should include a 
cover letter, statements of teaching and research philosophy, curriculum 
vita, and contact information for three references.

Hills of western Massachusetts. The college has built its reputation on
