Dear Colleagues,
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.
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.
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 (https://www.colorado.edu/earthlab/), 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.
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.
Who We Are
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.
What Your Responsibilities Will Be
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.
What You Should Know
This is a full-time, 100% FTE, academic-year position.
Benefits
The University of Colorado offers excellent benefits
<https://www.cu.edu/cu-careers/perks/cu-boulder>, including medical,
dental, retirement, paid time off, tuition benefit and ECO Pass. The
University of Colorado Boulder is one of the largest employers in
Boulder County and offers an inspiring higher education environment.

What We Require
All requirements for the Ph.D. in Geography or a cognate discipline,
else in Computer Science or in Informatics with demonstrated relevance
to spatial data and spatial analysis must be completed by August 2020.
What You Will Need
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.
What We Would Like You To Have
The ideal candidate will be motivated to interact with colleagues across
a broad array of disciplines.
Special Instructions
