* Climate Variability and Climate Change
* Synoptic, Mountain and Coastal Meteorology

Applicants must hold a PhD in Atmospheric Science or closely related
discipline. The successful candidate will show research experience
(projects, publications, etc.), as well as being capable of working both
independently and in a team. Spanish is not essential at first but this
language must be acquired before the first year to make it possible to
participate in undergraduate teaching. Teaching experience is not a
