<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Department of Geography at the University of Colorado
Boulder invites applications for an Assistant Professor,
tenure-track position, in Geographic Information Science
(GIScience) with specific focus on environmental or social
applications of Spatial Data Science, beginning in August
2020.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We seek candidates whose work advances the frontiers of
spatiotemporal analytics and geographic data science in
creative and novel ways to drive emerging questions involving
change and dynamics, and in the interplay between human and
environmental systems, as related to natural hazards or
climate, natural or human resources, public health,
demography, urbanization, or other questions at the nexus of
human-natural dimensions of environmental change. The
successful candidate has a strong foundation in GIScience,
current and emerging methods in statistics, data science,
and/or machine learning, and can demonstrate a commitment to
interdisciplinary research in and beyond the geographical
sciences.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Department of Geography sponsors a vital undergraduate
certificate in GIS and Computational Science in collaboration
with the Computer Science Department. The Department also
plays a key role in Earth Lab, a synthesis center for Earth
systems research that aims to accelerate data-driven discovery
(<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/earthlab/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.colorado.edu/earthlab/</a>),
with a strong focus on leveraging remotely-sensed geospatial
data. Interest in spatiotemporal analysis, dynamic modeling,
data science and computational GIScience is high across the
College of Arts & Sciences and campus as a whole. The
ideal candidate will be motivated to interact with colleagues
across a broad array of disciplines. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>As part of the normal three courses per year teaching
expectation, the successful candidate will rotate regularly
into three existing courses: Introductory GIScience, Basic
Statistics and Advanced Quantitative Methods at least every
other year. The candidate will teach an upper division
elective in spatiotemporal analysis for undergraduate and
graduate students. The candidate will also regularly teach a
graduate level seminar on a research topic of their choosing
and congruent with student demand and department needs. There
is also the potential to align teaching with an
interdisciplinary professional certificate / degree in Earth
Data Analytics blending data science and Earth systems
knowledge, which is run through Earth Lab.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>Who We Are<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p>The Department of Geography brings a holistic perspective to
the physical and human processes that shape the world around
us, and we strive to understand how people interact with, are
shaped by, and in turn help shape, our world. Our teaching and
research span an exceptional array of disciplines and we excel
at providing field-oriented, hands-on experience. We train our
students – in a friendly, well-supported environment – to be
top scientists as well as citizens of the broader world to
which we’re all connected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>What Your Responsibilities Will Be<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p>Main duties include research, teaching, and service. The
successful candidate will be expected to conduct an active
program of research, including attempts to secure external
funding, publication in refereed outlets, and presentation of
research at domestic and international conferences. In terms
of key teaching responsibilities, the successful candidate
will rotate regularly into three existing courses:
Introductory GIScience, Basic Statistics and Advanced
Quantitative Methods at least every other year. The candidate
will teach an upper division elective in spatiotemporal
analysis for undergraduate and graduate students. The
candidate will also regularly teach a graduate level seminar
on a research topic of their choosing and congruent with
student demand and department needs. Service to the university
is also a component of the regular workload for all faculty.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>What You Should Know<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p> This is a full-time, 100% FTE, academic-year position.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>Benefits<o:p></o:p></h3>
