POSTDOCTORAL SCIENTISTS in Aerosol-Cloud-Climate Studies Job Description: The MIT Center for Global Change Science is seeking one or two postdoctoral scientists for the study of anthropogenic aerosol-cloud-climate interactions in global or regional scale. The successful applicants will join a small team of MIT and NCAR scientists in an effort to continually develop interactive aerosol-cloud-chemistry-climate models in global and regional scales, and use these models to study the roles of anthropogenic pollutants in climate change. Requirements: A Ph.D. in atmospheric science or other relevant discipline is required. Candidates with experience in one of the following fields: 1) atmospheric aerosols; 2) cloud physics and chemistry; 3) tropospheric chemistry; 4) climate dynamics, or 5) radiative effects of aerosols are preferred. Familiarity with cluster/parallel computing, common computer languages, and atmospheric models is desirable. Salary is negotiable. Proposed start date is as soon as possible. To apply, send a curriculum vitae and the names with contact information of three references to: Dr. Chien Wang MIT Room E19-439K 77 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA 02139-4307 E-mail: wangc@mit.edu Search ongoing 6/2011.

PROFESSOR of Climate Job Description: The MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences announces a major expansion of its activities in climate science and seeks applicants for up to four faculty positions in climate-related fields. Preference will be given to junior appointments but a senior appointment can be considered for an individual with exceptional qualifications. Areas of specific interest include observations, models and theory of the atmosphere, ocean and cryosphere, past and present climates, biogeochemical cycles and ecology. Requirements: The successful candidate will have a strong record of accomplishment in their discipline, a strong commitment to teaching and student advising, and a keen interest in relating their work to complementary research in the Department and in the MIT/Woods Hold Joint Program in Oceanography. Joint appointments with other MIT departments are also potentially negotiable where appropriate. More information about this position can be obtained by writing Professor Maria T. Zuber at mtz@mit.edu. A completed application will include a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching objectives, and the names of 5 potential references. Applications are being accepted at Academic Jobs Online [Position ID: MIT-Earth, Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences-CLIMATE]. To receive full consideration a completed application must be received.
