research experience is preferred.

We seek a climate scientist whose research uses geospatial analysis to study cutting-edge topics. These might include ones centered in physical geography, such as atmospheric circulation, surface-atmosphere interactions, or extreme weather/climate events, or ones that engage directly with human-environment concerns, such as urban climates, climate injustice, or climate impacts on vulnerable and marginalized populations.

Teaching duties will include offering introductory and advanced courses in climate science, physical geography, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The successful candidate will also fulfill the expectation that all Colgate faculty participate in all-university programs, including the Liberal Arts Core Curriculum, and may have opportunities to develop or lead off-campus study programs.

We invite applicants to submit a cover letter that addresses how their teaching and research interests align with this position, a C.V., and names and contact information for three individuals prepared to write letters on their behalf, which must be submitted through Interfolio at https://apply.interfolio.com/189915. Colgate strives to be a community supportive of diverse perspectives and identities. In their application cover letter, candidates must describe how their approach to teaching might create an inclusive educational environment. Review of applications will begin on September 15, 2026, and continue until the position is filled. Letters of recommendation, and teaching and research statements will be solicited for candidates who advance beyond the initial review stage.
