The NSF is funding a new Research Collaboration Network that is highly relevant for the Climate Informatics community.
Title: EarthCube RCN IS-GEO: Intelligent Systems Research to Support Geosciences
PI: Suzanne Pierce, UTexas at Austin
The RCN already has over 30 members, many from the CI community, namely all the participants of last year's IS-GEO workshop.

The World Climate Research Programme maintains a list of Grand Challenges in the area of climate science, with excellent explanations, references, etc.
Check it out for yourself: https://www.wcrp-climate.org/grand-challenges/grand-challenges-overview
We hope this list might inspire new research, e.g. for researchers in the data sciences to work with climate scientists to try out some data-driven approaches.

The Department of Environmental Science in the College of Arts & Sciences at American University in Washington DC invites applications for a full-time, tenure-line position at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor beginning August 1, 2017.

We are particularly interested in those working in applied atmospheric science and employing computational, geospatial, or modeling approaches. Candidates must possess their Ph.D. at the time of application and those with active external funding will be the most competitive.
