Information on our department can be found at ~~~. The Morton K. Blaustein Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University offers programs of study and research in the basic Earth sciences, particularly:

• Geology, the science of the solid Earth and other terrestrial planets and satellites

• Geochemistry, devoted to understanding the chemistry of the solid Earth and natural

waters

• Geophysics, concerned with a quantitative description of physical processes in the Earth and planetary sciences

• Oceanography, the study of ocean currents, biogeochemistry, and the ocean's role in

climate

• Atmospheric sciences, particularly the dynamics of atmospheric circulation both on Earth and other outer planets and their satellites

• Ecology and paleoecology, the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment today and in the geologic past.

The department's primary goals are research and the training of scholars who will contribute to the future of these disciplines. The programs emphasize basic principles and concepts rather than applied aspects. The department is also committed to improving equity, diversity and inclusion in the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences.

We seek an outstanding individual with a recent Ph.D. who is pursuing interdisciplinary research in Global Change. Candidates whose research spans the natural sciences, social sciences, health sciences and/or public policy aspects of global change are especially encouraged to apply. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, (1) fundamental processes driving global change; (2) the impact of global change on air quality, water resources, ecosystems and ecological processes, and/or human health; (3) adaptation of societal and natural systems to the effects of global change; (4) energy resources; and (5) analysis of economic, sociological, public health, and policy implications of global change. The department values experiences and goals related to improving equity, diversity, and inclusion in the field. Candidates are encouraged

to collaborate with faculty from other Hopkins departments. Applicants should contact faculty with whom they are interested in working.

Consideration of applications will begin December 1, 2021. Applications can only be submitted electronically through interfolio. To apply, access the link here ~~~ to forward your curriculum vitae (with your email address), names and emails of three references and a research plan (2-3 pages).
