Tenure-track Faculty Positions in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions to begin September 2014 or thereafter. Appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment may be possible. We will consider exceptional candidates in all areas. The candidate should have demonstrated excellence in original research. Faculty responsibilities will include teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, developing course materials, student advising, conducting original scholarly research, and supervision of student research. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. by the beginning of employment.
Applications are being accepted electronically at https://school-of-engineering-faculty-search.mit.edu/cee-search/register.tcl. Each application must include: a curriculum vitae; the names and addresses of three or more references, a two-page strategic statement of research interests, a one-page statement of teaching interests, and electronic copies of no more than three representative publications. It is the responsibility of the candidate to arrange for reference letters to be uploaded at https://school-of-engineering-faculty-search.mit.edu/cee-search/letters.
Applications received by December 1, 2013 will be given priority.
With MIT’s strong commitment to diversity in engineering education, research and practice we especially encourage minorities and women to apply.

Tenure-track Faculty Positions in the Department of EAPS
The MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences has been undergoing a major expansion of its activities in climate science. Positions have recently been filled in the areas of atmospheric chemistry, paleoclimate and ocean biogeochemical cycles. We seek applicants for further appointments in climate-related fields, especially as they pertain to observations, models and theory in atmospheric dynamics and physical oceanography. Preference will be given to junior appointments at the assistant professor level, but a more senior appointment can be considered for an individual with exceptional qualifications.
The successful candidates will have a strong record of accomplishment in their discipline, a strong commitment to teaching and student advising, and a keen interest in relating their work to complementary research in the Department and/or in the MIT/Woods Hole Joint Program in Oceanography. Joint appointments with other MIT departments can be negotiated as appropriate.
More information about this position can be obtained by writing Prof. John Marshall, the chair of the climate search committee.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, one-page descriptions of research and teaching plans, and the names, email addresses, and phone numbers of three professional referees. Please do not ask your referees to upload letters at the time of application; letters will be requested directly by MIT. Questions may be addressed to Prof. John Marshall, Search Committee Chair, at jmarsh@mit.edu.
Applications are being accepted at Academic Jobs Online. (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo)
