APPROXIMATE STARTING DATE: August 19, 2024
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY: The Department of Sciences and Mathematics of the California State University Maritime Academy (Cal Maritime) invites applications for our full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor of Physical Oceanography. We seek a dynamic educator who is committed to creating an environment of active learning for our B.S. in Oceanography degree program and engaging our students in undergraduate research. We are open to all areas of physical oceanography but are especially interested in candidates who will bring an observational research program and can take advantage of our ocean observing platforms (shore station and moored buoy), fleet of vessels, and waterfront location on the shores of the San Francisco Estuary. Teaching assignments will include team-teaching in the introductory oceanography sequence, teaching introductory physics courses in mechanics and electromagnetism, Oceans and Climate, Scientific Computer Programming, and Advanced Physical Oceanography. We seek a collegial, dynamic educator who will take a leadership role in the development of specialized, hands-on, immersive learning activities, and in the development of specialized equipment in collaboration with our oceanography, physics and engineering faculty and students. Startup funds will be made available to the successful candidate. The Department is particularly interested in applicants who have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds and a demonstrated commitment to improving access to higher education for under-represented groups.
Review of applications will begin immediately, and the position will remain open until filled. Applications received by close of business day on January 5, 2024 will receive priority consideration.
