The Department of Earth and Climate Sciences at Tufts University invites applications for a tenure-track, Assistant Professor in Atmospheric Science, beginning September 1st 2024. The successful candidate will: 1) teach three courses per year (a required course in Atmospheric Science for majors and two new elective courses relevant to the Earth Science and Climate Science curriculums); and 2) perform high‑quality, externally‑funded research in their area of expertise.
