is a term position in support of a DOE SciDAC collaborative
project for modeling the long-term changes in climate, ice
sheets, and sea level using CESM-CISM (Community Earth System
Model with the Community Ice Sheet Model). Simulations will
include both past and future scenarios. The position will
combine scientific research with the coordination and support
of the CESM-CISM simulation activities. This position
participates and contributes to the CESM-CISM modeling
activities, specifically critically evaluating the simulations
for the Last Interglacial and Pliocene against reconstructions
for the climate, sea level, and the Greenland ice sheet,
independently and in collaboration with others, and using
these simulations in conjunction with long-term future
CESM-CISM simulations to understand possibilities for the
future. The incumbent will also be involved in suggesting
modifications and improvements to CISM and the other component
models for successful prediction of the Greenland ice sheet
within CESM. The position includes the design and execution of
experiments, the scientific analysis of results, further
development of post-processing tools, and the publication of
papers.</p>
