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
initiative with multiple faculty hires addressing solar geoengineering,
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 physical and biological sciences, social sciences,
engineering, and humanities at the rank of tenured Professor.
Applications are welcome from scholars who have not 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.
