The Department of the Geophysical Sciences at The University of Chicago invites applications for the T.C. Chamberlin Postdoctoral Fellowship. We seek outstanding scientists who lead creative investigations into the nature and evolution of the Earth and/or other planetary bodies—including their physics, biology, chemistry, climate, and history—and who have a desire to participate in the broad intellectual life of the department and the university. Ongoing research activities within the department can be found on the department websitehttps://geosci.uchicago.edu/.


We encourage people with interests in any aspect of Earth and Planetary Sciences to apply. To give a sense of the diverse interests of our Chamberlin Fellows, in recent years they have carried out investigations of planetary habitability, tropical cyclones, paleontology, planetary dynamics, and geochemistry.


Start date is negotiable, with a target of September 1, 2023. The initial term of the Fellowships will be one year, renewable for a second year. The Fellowship comes with a competitive salary plus benefits as well as independent research funds. Applicants are required to submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research, and request three letters of reference through AcademicJobsOnline.org at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22521. Consideration of complete applications (those including letters of reference) will begin October 10, 2022, and exceptional applicants will be contacted after review to schedule on campus interviews.


We seek a diverse pool of applicants who wish to join an academic community that places the highest value on rigorous inquiry and encourages diverse perspectives, experiences, groups of individuals, and ideas to inform and stimulate intellectual challenge, engagement, and exchange.

  • Good afternoon all,

    The College of Science and Mathematics at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA, is conducting a cohort search for 4 faculty positions broadly focused on Environment Data Science. Details and link to the job ad are listed below.

    Cheers – Steve Whitmeyer

    James Madison University (JMU) invites applications for Phase 2 of an exciting collaborative environmental data science (EDS) cohort hire. The cohort hires will consist of four tenure-track faculty at rank of assistant or associate professor who will work collaboratively across disciplines to develop undergraduate curricula and research programs at the intersection of data science, climate science, and environmental analytics. One or more of the four positions could be teacher-scholar post-doctoral appointments. Successful candidates will possess the expertise, creative ability, interdisciplinary problem-solving skills, and team-oriented work ethic to establish JMU as a home for environmental data science curricula and research. Given that many of the challenges facing the environment differentially affect particular populations of humans, a critical component of this cohort would be the integration of social justice into curricula and research initiatives.

    Successful candidates will have primary appointments in an academic unit most aligned with their disciplinary focus. These include Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Geology and Environmental Science, Mathematics and Statistics, and Physics and Astronomy in the College of Science and Mathematicshttps://www.jmu.edu/csm/index.shtml (CSM), as well as Computer Science, Engineering, Geography, and Integrated Science and Technology in the College of Integrated Science and Engineeringhttps://www.jmu.edu/cise/index.shtml (CISE). At least two of the appointments will be in the academic unit of Mathematics and Statistics and would be involved in the development of a data science program at JMU. Phase 2 EDS hires will join three faculty who joined JMU in 2022https://www.jmu.edu/csm/people/all-people/edscohort/index.shtml.
