Tsinghua University (Beijing, China), Department of Earth System Science with a focus on global change issues, an emphasis to integrate related natural science and social science disciplines, invites applications for tenure track or tenured positions at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level. Also, we seek young and ambitious Postdoc candidates for Shuimu Scholar Program.

Applicants should have expertise in related fields. Successful candidates will develop independent research that complements existing strengths. Each appointee will be expected to develop a program of research in one or more of the following areas with more detailed descriptions found inhttp://www.dess.tsinghua.edu.cn.

Part Ⅰ. Faculty Positions

(1) Earth System Observation

1. Land change science: Multisource Earth observation data fusion, specific land cover and land use change monitoring and modeling, driving mechanism of land change from local to global scale, and provision of input data and modeling module for Earth system model development.

2. Theory and Application of Radiation Transmission in Earth System: The basic principles of electromagnetic radiation and the propagation process of electromagnetic waves in the earth system, remote sensing sensors and their imaging principles and applications, radiation transmission equations and parameterization schemes, etc.

(2) Earth System Processes

1. Geophysical Fluid Dynamics/Climate System Dynamics: The natural fluid behavior on the earth and other planets, the forced dissipation nonlinear system dynamics, the coupling interaction between the various layers of the earth system and the boundary layer theory, the dynamics and predictability of multi-temporal and spatial scale complex systems, etc.

2. Atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric environment: Impact of anthropogenic activities on the atmospheric composition, atmospheric process and its coupling with earth system, interaction and co-governance of climate change and atmospheric environment.

3. Migratory bird ecology and planetary health: Migratory bird and habitat ecology, biodiversity protection and field station network development, and planetary health theory and model related to migratory birds.

(3) Earth System Model

1. Terrestrial biogeochemistry: Understanding the biogeochemical mechanisms of element movements and their impacts on the environment and human health. Developing biogeochemical modeling and predicting capacities in global agricultural systems, especially on carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and water. Evaluating environmentally safe boundaries, supporting sustainable development policymaking and global change economy.

2. Marine Biogeochemical Processes: Development and application of marine ecosystems and biogeochemical modeling; the coupling of marine biogeochemical cycles among various components in Earth system models and its impacts; response and feedback of marine biogeochemical processes to climate change.

3. Big Data for Earth System Science: Research on the theory and methods of big data integration in earth system science, the information mining and knowledge discovery of big data in earth system science, and the development and prediction of earth system models based on artificial intelligence technology.

4. Framework of Earth System Model: Development of dynamic cores for the next generation atmospheric and ocean models. Develop new component models (e.g., ice sheet model) of the Earth system model and their coupling and feedback to better understand the Earth system as an integrated system.

(4) Earth System Management

1. Energy economics: Modeling, feasibility and economics of the low-carbon/zero-carbon energy system, climate and environment impact of the energy system.
