The Department of Geography at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant Professor level in Physical Geography.

​We seek to hire a physical geographer who pursues societally relevant questions that help us better understand environmental and Earth systems, including how they are transformed by human-induced or other disturbances. Specific areas of research include, but are not limited to, soil science, biogeography, climatology, watershed science, and cryosphere science. The applicant should have training and experience in relevant research methods such as field methods, modeling, or remote sensing.

• Teach undergraduate courses in areas of physical geography at both introductory (e.g. GEOG 1001 and GEOG 1011 Environmental Systems) and upper division levels according to the selected candidate’s expertise; and develop a graduate level course in an area of specialty. 
• ​Periodically teach Seminars and Special Topics, and mentor Independent Study as needed. 
• ​Advise and mentor undergraduate and graduate students. 
• Develop a research program which includes extramural sources of funds and publishing in peer-reviewed national and international journals.
