EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Professorship in Earth and Environmental Science

The Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for a tenured professorship at the Associate or Full Professor level. We seek an individual with research and teaching interests that complement and broaden our existing strengths in both Earth and Environmental Science. The successful candidate is expected to have developed an internationally recognized, externally funded, multi-disciplinary research program and will be required to actively participate in our core undergraduate and graduate teaching and in the administration of the Department. Individuals who can further increase interactions with other departments within the School of Arts and Sciences are strongly encouraged to apply. Further information about the Department may be sought at www.sas.upenn.edu/earth/.

Applicants apply online at facultysearches.provost.upenn.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=51104 with a cover letter, CV, statements of research and teaching interests, and 3 publications. The Search Committee will begin to evaluate applications on November 15, 2012 and will continue until the position is filled.

PhD GRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY IN " OCEAN BIOGEOCHEMISTRY AND CLIMATE CHANGE"
https://climate.sas.upenn.edu
Department of Earth and Environmental Science, University of Pennsylvania

Dr. Marinov is seeking a motivated doctoral student to join her ocean modeling group at Penn. Possible scientific research directions include
- Seasonal to interdecadal variability of the physical climate and links with ocean biogeochemistry and ocean ecology on a global scale
- Impact of climate change on ocean nutrients, carbon cycle and ecology. How do changes in ocean physics, ecology and chemistry affect the sink for atmospheric CO₂ and how will decadal to millenial changes in that sink affect in turn climate?
- Development of theoretical understanding on what controls the oceanic sink for atmospheric CO₂ .
- Including evolutionary concepts into ecological models and coupling them to comprehensive global climate models.

Applicants must be self-motivated and hard working, with good written and verbal communication skills. A strong background in either physics, chemistry, oceanography, or atmospheric science is ideal. Past programming experience under the Linux environment (especially programming in Fortran and matlab) is highly desirable.

If interested please contact Dr. Irina Marinov at imarinov@sas.upenn.edu
