The Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) at the University of Manitoba invites applications for a professor in Arctic climate modelling. This tenure-track position will be located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
The successful candidate will have a background and proven track record in the areas of numerical modelling of the Arctic ocean-sea ice-atmosphere system, modelling of glacier-marine freshwater coupling, terrestrial freshwater-marine coupled modelling, or climate change modelling with a particular emphasis on Arctic-midlatitude teleconnection research. Applicants with recognized expertise in the broad fields of Arctic system level modelling at the local, regional, or hemispheric scales and with coupled climate models are strongly encouraged to apply.
The position will have a significant proportion allocated to research in any one of the broad areas of Arctic marine and climate modelling in the specific subdiscipline of the candidate's specialization. The candidate will also be expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels in their area of research.
