Dear Colleagues,
The University of
Colorado’s Cooperative
Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) invites
applications
for a post-doctoral researcher working on sea-ice and
atmospheric processes. This
post-doctoral position will be
located at the NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory in Boulder,
Colorado. The
position offers strong links to numerous Arctic scientists
affiliated with
CIRES and NOAA in Boulder, as well as a direct association with
the Multidisciplinary
drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC, www.mosaic-expedition.org) consortium of national and international
scientists.
This
post-doctoral research opportunity targets atmospheric links
with the sea ice
by examining the surface energy budget, its relation to
atmospheric drivers
including clouds and precipitation, and the representation of
these processes
by a coupled model. The key science questions to be addressed
include:
·
How does the
partitioning of
surface energy budget terms over sea ice vary with cloud state,
atmospheric
stability, season, snow depth, and sea-ice thickness?
·
How can model
representation of
Arctic cloud and precipitation processes be optimized to
simultaneously and
consistently simulate observed relationships between cloud
radiative effects
and net precipitation?
Applicants should have a background in Arctic
sea-ice and/or
atmospheric processes, with prior experience in working with
large data sets
and/or using numerical models. The position requires strong
teamwork and
communications skills. Proficiency in appropriate programming
languages is
necessary (Python, Matlab, IDL, etc.). Applicants should have
received their
PhD degree within the past 3 years.
