The University of Chicago invites applications from scholars who will
make significant contributions to Climate Systems Engineering. The
University is building a world-leading Climate Systems Engineering

open-system carbon removal such as enhanced weathering, and
interventions to limit loss of glacial ice. We seek individuals who will
lead research programs that will produce significant contributions to
their field and to this research initiative.
Applications are welcome from all relevant academic disciplines
including the physical and biological sciences, social sciences,
engineering, and humanities at the rank of tenure-track Assistant

previously worked on climate systems engineering and from scholars who
focus on the physical or social risks of Climate Systems Engineering.
Appointments will be made in an appropriate primary department based on
field, with secondary appointment(s) in another unit possible.
Research on Climate Systems Engineering is inherently interdisciplinary,
so we seek individuals with a track record of collaboration beyond their
discipline; the University\'s culture is highly collaborative.
