Climate Change and Sea Level Rise - Senior Faculty Position

Old Dominion University has created an exciting new Climate Change and
Sea Level Rise Initiative and seeks a senior level faculty member in any
discipline related to climate change and sea level rise to help lead
this initiative. The goal of the Initiative is to foster research,
education and outreach on the impact that climate change and sea level
rise may have on metropolitan communities that are situated at or close
to sea level. Old Dominion University, a state-assisted Carnegie
doctoral/research-extensive institution that serves almost 25,000
students including more than 6,000 graduate students, is itself located
in the city of Norfolk in the metropolitan Hampton Roads region of
coastal Virginia. A broad range of faculty from across the entire
university, ranging from science and engineering to the social sciences,
education, business and health sciences, are currently involved in this
initiative (see http://www.odu.edu/ao/research/ccslri/). The successful
candidate will be part of the leadership team, will be an effective
leader and advocate for the Initiative, and will be expected to
contribute to the Initiative through research, teaching and service
activities.

Applicants should possess an appropriate terminal degree and an academic
record that merits a tenured appointment at the rank of associate or
full professor in one of the academic departments within the University.
A successful record in research and grant writing is required, as is
evidence of leadership and the ability to interact and communicate
clearly with internal and external communities.

Applications should include a letter of interest that addresses the
Initiative's goals, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for
three professional references including email addresses and phone
numbers. Review of applications will begin November 11, 2011 and the
position will remain open until an appointment is made. Applications and
nominations should be submitted electronically to: CCSLR Search
