The Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science (EOAS) at the Florida State University (FSU) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the area of Large-Scale Physical Oceanography. The ideal candidate should have a solid background in addressing fundamental research questions about the functioning of the ocean from regional to global scales. Applications from those skilled in observational analyses, measurements, modeling, theory and/or interdisciplinary investigations will be particularly welcomed.
Appointees are expected to develop and maintain a vigorous externally funded research program in their specialty area of interest and to teach courses and contribute to both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the department. Candidates must hold a Doctoral degree or the highest degree appropriate in Geosciences or a related field.

EOAS is housed in a recent building (2020) with state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories, has 39 academic faculty members and approximately 135 graduate students, and offers undergraduate and/or graduate degrees in Geology, Meteorology, Oceanography, and Environmental Sciences. FSU also hosts a local High Performance Computing Center. Aside from the faculty within EOAS, the successful candidate can expect collaborations with the Center for Ocean-Atmosphere Prediction Studies, the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute, the Marine Lab, and the departments of Mathematics and Scientific Computing. For additional information on EOAS and FSU’s resources, please check https://www.eoas.fsu.edu/ and https://www.eoas.fsu.edu/research/#Research%20Facilities.

Applicants should submit to the appropriate job opening to http://jobs.fsu.edu (job position number 56268) and include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, contact information for three references, and statements on research, teaching interests, and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Full consideration will be given to applications received by January 1, 2024, but review of applications will continue until the post is filled.
