The Department of Earth, Environmental, and Atmospheric Sciences at Western Kentucky University is seeking highly-qualified applicants for a 9-month tenure-track eligible Assistant Professor of Meteorology position beginning August 2022. The successful candidate is expected to contribute toward teaching and research in support of the B.S. degree in Meteorology. The desired candidate's area of specialization in Atmospheric Science is open. However, preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate expertise that complements existing faculty areas of teaching and research.

To capitalize on the growth and success of the WKU Meteorology Program, the department is also carrying out a parallel search for a tenure-track eligible Kentucky State Climatologist position at the associate or full-professor rank. Together, these new hires will provide students in the Meteorology Program with enhanced opportunities and unique pathways for post-graduate achievements.

The WKU Meteorology Program was founded in 2008 and is the largest meteorology program in the Mid-South, maintaining around 70 undergraduate students. The foundation for the WKU Meteorology Program is centered on innovative applied learning and research, with a strong reputation for excellence and robust student success. The WKU Meteorology Program maintains modern state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities, outfitted with industry-standard hardware and software technologies. In addition to these facilities, the program has cultivated a number of contemporary initiatives and services that support multi-disciplinary collaborations across the university and its community and industry partners.

Under the direction of WKU's University Meteorologist, White Squirrel Weather is a student-driven professional initiative that provides official university weather and incident decision-support services. White Squirrel Weather also operates multiple hyperlocal/microclimate weather stations that are located at various facilities across WKU campuses, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and elsewhere. The Disaster Science Operations Center is a brand new multi-disciplinary applied research unit that allows students to produce multi-media weather content and real-time hazard monitoring. The College Heights Atmospheric Observatory for Students (CHAOS Lab) serves as a meteorological monitoring, prediction, and research lab for students. An award-winning Severe Weather Forecasting Field Course offers upper-division Meteorology majors an opportunity to perform real-time forecasting in a fast-paced severe storm environment that serves as a capstone to their academic program. An Atmospheric Computing Research lab allows students to develop computing skills in areas of big data processing and visualization for various meteorological and climatological research endeavors. The WKU Meteorology Program is also affiliated with the Kentucky Climate Center, home to the Kentucky State Climatologist. As part of the Kentucky Climate Center, the Kentucky Mesonet operates a research-grade statewide infrastructure for weather and climate monitoring, and serves as the official source of climatological observations for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Kentucky Climate Center maintains active affiliations with the National Centers for Environmental Information, the National Weather Service, the Midwestern Regional Climate Center, and other non-federal organizations, and is actively engaged with the Midwest Drought Early Warning System. Each lab and research center has direct access to the NOAAPort data broadcast system, as well as the High Performance Computing Center, both housed on-site at WKU.

The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences, Meteorology, Geography, or closely related discipline.

The Department of Physics & Astronomy at Western Kentucky University (WKU) invites applications for a research faculty position. This is a twelve-month position with faculty rank; funding for the first two years has been identified, and the successful candidate will be expected to leverage this support into a long-term program of externally funded research, carried out in collaboration with members of the department and involving both undergraduate and graduate students.

The successful candidate will join a team of researchers at WKU and Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) in applying machine/deep learning algorithms to high-cadence images of the Sun from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), with the goal of providing reliable predictions of solar flare activity on timescales of order tens of minutes. Both WKU and EKU are members of a team that has been selected by NASA to provide support in connection with planned launches of the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Hi-C and FOXSI 4 hard X-ray imaging telescope sounding rocket instruments in March 2024, as part of the Solar Flare Sounding Rocket Campaign. The goal is to provide real-time launch support by applying machine learning algorithms to real-time SDO AIA data, in multiple spectral channels, to identify features that indicate where and when flaring activity is imminent, and so ascertain the optimum time for the launches of the flare-observing Hi?C and FOXSI 4 instruments.

The successful candidate should have a working knowledge of convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks, demonstrable experience with spatial-temporal feature extraction from video clips; demonstrable experience with weakly-supervised learning, semi-supervised, learning, or few-shot learning and a deomstarted familiarity with Tensorflow, PyTorch, or similar deep learning framework.

Ph.D. in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related field

Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. We expect that the successful candidate will quickly assume a leadership role in this project and will play a key role in the coordination of results with scientists in the Hi-C project at MSFC.
