PROFESSOR of Atmospheric ChemistryJob Description: The MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, within its Program in Atmospheres, Oceans, and Climate, seeks applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in Atmospheric Chemistry. Areas of specific interest include multiphase (gas, aerosol, cloud) chemical and physical processes, and the multiple roles of atmospheric chemistry in climate. Our preference is for a scientist with strong laboratory and/or field measurement experience but scientists with outstanding theoretical and modeling experience applied to field measurements are also encouraged to apply.Requirements: The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. or near completion of degree; or completion of Ph.D. by start date of employment. Candidate will also have a strong record of accomplishment in their discipline, a strong commitment to teaching and student advising, and an abiding interest in relating their work to complementary work in the atmospheric and climate sciences at MIT. Joint appointments with other MIT departments are also potentially negotiable where appropriate. More information about this position can be obtained by writing to Prof. Ronald Prinn, e-mail rprinn@mit.edu. A completed application will include a curriculum vitae, a statement of your research and teaching objectives, and the names of 5 potential references.
