Job Lists

Job lists are resources for students, professionals, and researchers to post and find jobs related to their interests and expertise. As atmospheric sciences encompass diverse specialties (e.g., extreme weather events vs ocean-atmosphere interactions), activities (field work vs modeling), locations (fully remote vs tied to a city), and sectors (non-profit vs academia), it can be difficult to find a job tailored to your interests. Job lists compile job opportunities to simplify the job-search process and find suitable applicants.

Atmospheric Related Job Postings

• American Geophysical Union (AGU): A compilation of websites and listservs.
  • Find a Job : The AGU Career Center website allowing filters for discipline, location, and sector.

• American Meteorological Society (AMS): Resources and announcements for both internships and job opportunities.

• American Chemical Society (ACS): ACS maintains job postings in multiple locations (e.g., 'job postings' and 'chemistry job postings'. Note that these are chemistry-specific jobs and may not be applicable to other fields (e.g., meteorology) and are not sorted according to atmospheric sciences.
  • Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN): Another job board hosted by ACS. Jobs here can be refined by specialization.
• Association for the Sciences for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO): Postings related specifically to limnology and oceanography; primarily posts about academic jobs relating to marine sciences.
• American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR): While AAAR is focused on aerosol research, they post jobs related to environmental and climate sciences as a whole, both within and outside of academia. Most of the positions are posted with the full details directly on this page.
• Science Magazine of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS): Posts jobs for a suite of scientific positions; however, results can be filtered by discipline, location, etc.
• Physics Today: Broad scope of jobs not specific to atmospheric sciences; can be filtered by level, sector, and degree.

General Science Job Postings

• American Geophysical Union (AGU): A compilation of websites and listservs.
  • Find a Job : The AGU Career Center website allowing filters for discipline, location, and sector.

Non-profits

• Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI): An independent, non-profit focused on energy system interventions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• Environmental Defense Fund (EDF): A non-profit organization offering both remote, in-person, and international job opportunities in a variety of fields.

• Jupiter Intelligence: This non-profit focuses on climate risk assessments and works with both private companies and public agencies.

Listservs and Email Lists

• Earth Sciences Job Announcement List: Maintained by the Earth Science Women's Network. Individuals may subscribe, post a job opportunity, or view the archives online.

Social Media Lists

• AtmChemAeroJobs: An X/Twitter account maintained by Dr. Jose-Luis Jimenez (jose.jiminez@colorado.edu) for jobs in atmospheric chemistry and aerosols.
