JOB ANNOUNCEMENT 

Assistant Professor 
Phenoclimatology (Bridging Ecology and Climate) 
The University of Arizona 


Integration of phenological observations and relevant models with short 
and long-term climatic predictions is crucial to manage ecosystems and 
wildlife in the context of a changing climate. The University of Arizona 
invites applications from applied climatologists, quantitative ecologists 
and ecological modelers for the tenure-track position of Assistant 
Professor with an emphasis on Phenoclimatology. This will be an academic 
appointment within the School of Natural Resources and the Environment for 
an individual who will collaborate closely with colleagues across campus 
and particularly with the USA National Phenology Network to provide 
leadership in bridging between phenological ecology and applied 
climatology. 

The successful candidate will capitalize on USA-NPN programs and data 
products to develop phenological models, bioclimatic assessments, and 
decision support needed to anticipate, manage, and/or mitigate ecosystem 
and species responses to climatic variation and change. Opportunities to 
collaborate in the environmental sciences abound on The University of 
Arizona campus, through such groups as the School of Natural Resources and 
the Environment, Institute of the Environment, Climate Assessment for the 
Southwest (CLIMAS), Sustainability of Semi-Arid Hydrology and Riparian 
Areas (SAHRA), Biosphere 2, the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, the 
School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and the BIO5 Institute. A 
Ph.D. in ecology, climatology, atmospheric sciences, or a closely related 
field is required. We prefer someone with experience that could include 
the following areas: climate and/or ecological modeling, time series and 
spatial analysis, climate-ecology linkages, evaluating effects of climate 
change on ecosystems or wildlife, and/or decision support. 

The USA-NPN is an emerging and innovative partnership among academic 
communities, federal agencies, and the general public with a mandate to 
monitor, understand, and predict the influence of seasonal cycles and 
their variability on the Nation?s resources ( www.usanpn.org ). The 
National Coordinating Office of the USA-NPN is located on the campus of 
the University of Arizona and is co-hosted by the University and the U.S. 
Geological Survey. A full description is available by referencing job #
