          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>
