The School of Natural Sciences, seeks to appoint an outstanding scientist to an Assistant Professorship in Climate Science with relevant research and teaching expertise. The successful candidate will play an important role in the design and delivery of modules for the new undergraduate and post-graduate course in Environmental Sciences and Engineering. This multidisciplinary flagship programme to be delivered by the Schools of Natural Sciences and Engineering is part of the E3 initiative. The successful candidate may take on the role of Academic Director of this programme in due course. This is an open search for a candidate with a strong track record of research and teaching in climate science. The successful candidate will bring fundamental knowledge of the global challenges that the current climate crisis brings to our planet. Development of solutions to such issues is a central goal of the E3 project. We are particularly interested in candidates with a research programme that could be further developed to enhance complementarity with existing faculty within the E3 Schools (Natural Sciences, Engineering, and Computer Sciences & Statistics), and which would grow Trinity’s reputation nationally and internationally within that research sphere. The candidate should be capable of expanding and further developing research capacity in climate science and both the undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum in this important area. In particular, the candidate will be expected to lead and to further develop field-based and/or hands-on modelling/laboratory teaching curricula in the new Environmental Science and Engineering programme and to contribute to pre-existing undergraduate and postgraduate taught courses in Natural Sciences.
