Job Description
|
|
The Climate Physics Group of the Atmospheric Science and Global Change Division seeks a Post Doctoral Researcher to actively participate in research involving the role of aerosols and clouds on climate. The group is involved in the development and use of climate system models. Research activities will involve some combination of improving the representation of component processes important to aerosols and clouds for climate models, and the application of climate models as a tool for understanding some climate change problems. Our group is involved in research on the many aspects of aerosols in the atmosphere, and how those aerosols influence and are influenced by clouds. We have active projects in understanding the role of aerosols and clouds in polar climate, in geoengineering, and in assessments of how processes represented by detailed models (process, high resolution cloud and regional models) can be used to improve global climate models. We are looking for people to help us in these projects. Our group also interacts with other leading climate science activities nationally and internationally and these positions can lead to high visibility and leadership in the research community.
Candidate will be expected to
- Conduct technical research in an agreed upon areas of
- Publish research results in highly visible, peer-reviewed venues (conferences & journals)
- Interact with internal and external research staff and domain scientists for collaboration purposes
- Participate and make presentations on the work
