<small>The Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences
(AOSS) at the University of Michigan is seeking a qualified
Postdoctoral Researcher. The candidate will work with Dr. Gretchen
Keppel-Aleks in the study of climate-carbon cycle interactions.
The lab uses a range of tools, including archived observations,
ground-based remote sensing data, Earth system models, and simple
analytic models to understand the global carbon cycle.<br>
<br>
The selected individual will have the opportunity to choose
between projects involving (1) decadal to century scale prediction
of carbon-climate feedbacks constrained by present day variations
in atmospheric CO2 or (2) analysis of in situ and remote sensing
observations to quantify the impact of climate and atmospheric
composition on carbon fluxes.<br>
<br>
A PhD degree in atmospheric science, or a closely related field,
is required. Competence and demonstrated experience with computer
modeling and programming languages (e.g., Unix/Linux, Fortran, and
data analysis/visualization software such as MATLAB or Python) is
also expected. Additional experience with remotely sensed data,
field work/instrumentation, and/or Earth system modeling would be
considered favorably.<br>
<br>
Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Keppel-Aleks
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:gkeppela@umich.edu">gkeppela@umich.edu</a>). Additional information about the lab group
can be found at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://aoss-research.engin.umich.edu/faculty/keppel-aleks/">http://aoss-research.engin.umich.edu/faculty/keppel-aleks/</a> .
Applications should include a cover letter describing your
interest in the position, experience, and availability. In
addition, please submit a CV and the name, title and affiliation,
and contact information for three professional references.<br>
<br>
The initial appointment will be for a period of one year, with the
option for renewal based on performance and funding availability.<br>
<br>
The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative
action employer.</small><br>
