Lamont Research Professor

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in Palisades, New York, seeks to fill a Lamont Research Professor (open rank) position in the area of atmospheric radiative transfer and remote sensing. Lamont Research Professors receive nine-month appointments with partial salary support provided from institutional sources. An incentive program encourages the establishment of a vigorous externally funded research program to provide the majority of salary support, including an opportunity for summer salary. The successful applicant should have a high-impact research program and be able to contribute broadly to climate research at the Observatory. She/he should have a clear record of substantial research contributions demonstrated through publications in peer-reviewed journals and success at raising external funding for research support. Candidates with strong secondary interests in science education or outreach are also encouraged to apply.

Eligibility requirements include a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences or a related field, evidence of ongoing externally funded research programs sufficient to support the necessary non-institutional fraction of salary, and at least 2 years of relevant research experience. Salary will be commensurate with experience.
All interested candidates should apply online at the following link:
