The United States Naval Academy (USNA) Oceanography Department invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the field of Atmospheric Science or Meteorology to begin prior to the fall 2022 semester. 

The USNA Oceanography Department offers a B.S. in Oceanography. Our curriculum is academically diverse with an emphasis on atmosphere-ocean dynamics, and coursework that spans the range of meteorological and oceanographic disciplines.

We seek an early-career scholar with a proven peer-reviewed publication and research record in atmospheric science, meteorology, or a closely related discipline, and who engages in cross-disciplinary collaborative research. The successful candidate will be expected to establish and maintain an active research agenda, ideally complementing and extending existing areas of departmental expertise, and engaging Midshipmen through mentorship and scholarship.
