at New York University
Full TimeThe Center for Data Science (CDS) and the Center for Atmosphere Ocean Science (CAOS), a unit of the Department of Mathematics within the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, seeks candidates for one (1) open-rank joint faculty position, anticipated to begin in September 2025. Faculty members are expected to be outstanding scholars and to participate in teaching at all levels from undergraduate to doctoral. Applications will be considered until the position is filled, but please submit your application by 15 December 2024 to guarantee its full consideration
The aim of this position is to expand in the area of data science for climate physics and computational science with machine learning. The ideal candidate will be firmly engaged in both the fields of data science and climate physics.
This search is part of a cluster hire in Predicting Climate Change and its Impacts: From the Global to Urban Scale that includes the departments of Mathematics and Computer Science in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Civil and Urban Engineering in the Tandon School of Engineering, and the Center for Data Science. Advances in climate science prediction will require transformative developments in and between mathematics, data science, computer science, physics, engineering and geoscience. More information about this cluster, and NYU's broader Faculty Cluster Hiring Initiative, can be found here. Several faculty positions will be advertised as part of this cluster search, with the intention of creating a diverse, inter-disciplinary cohort to devise cutting-edge research and curricular development.
The Center for Data Science (CDS) is the focal point for New York University’s university-wide efforts in Data Science. The Center was established in 2013 to advance NYU’s goal of creating a world-leading Data Science training and research facility, and arming researchers and professionals with the tools to harness the power of Big Data. Today, CDS counts 20 jointly appointed interdisciplinary faculty housed on three floors of our magnificent 60 5th Avenue building, one of New York City’s historic properties. It is home to a top-ranked MS in Data Science program, one of the first PhD programs in Data Science, and a new undergraduate program in Data Science, as well as a lively Fellow and Postdoctoral program. It has over 70 associate and affiliate faculty from 25 departments in 9 schools and units. With cross-disciplinary research and innovative educational programs, CDS is shaping the new field of Data Science.
The Courant Institute’s Mathematics Department is a world-renowned center for applied mathematics (including math for data science and machine learning), scientific computing, PDEs, analysis, probability, geometry and other fields. Courant is also the home of NYU’s department of Computer Science, which is a leader in machine learning and AI, among other fields. The goal of the Center for Atmosphere Ocean Science, a unit within the Mathematics Department, is to advance our understanding of and ability to predict the coupled atmosphere, ocean and ice system through the use of mathematical and computational tools and analysis of observations. Both the CDS and the Courant Institute host vibrant interdisciplinary PhD programs, and a number of faculty hold joint appointments at both centers.
In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this open-rank position is $100,000 - $150,000 for the rank of Assistant Professor, $120,000 - $180,000 for the rank of Associate Professor, and $165,000 - $265,000 for the rank of Full Professor.
PhD in applied math and/or applied physics or a related quantitative field is required.
Please include a cover letter (optional), CV, research statement, teaching statement, diversity statement (optional), and a list with the names and contact details of at least three professional references. We encourage applicants to include a brief statement describing how your research, teaching, and service contribute to diversity and inclusion.
