Oceanography

Tufts University invites applications for an open-rank tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Earth and Climate Sciences in Oceanography, beginning September 1st, 2023. The faculty member will teach three undergraduate courses annually; perform high-quality, externally-funded research in their area of specialism; and actively engage undergraduate students in research. Candidates applying at the Associate Professor level or above will additionally take on leadership roles within the department.

The Department of Earth and Climate Sciences is an undergraduate-only program that is beginning a major expansion in faculty and infrastructure to offer a new major and research expertise in Climate Science. Once the expansion is complete, our department will offer complementary undergraduate majors in Earth Science and Climate Science.

The successful candidate in Oceanography will teach required and elective courses that focus on the physical workings of the ocean and its critical role in Earth's climate system. While the Oceanography faculty member will primarily teach within the Climate Science track, we particularly welcome applications from candidates whose research and teaching interests intersect with Earth Science (e.g. marine geology and paleoceanography). We encourage all faculty to take advantage of opportunities for collaborative teaching and research with other faculty at the university.
