We seek a highly motivated individual with expertise and interests in a broad array of atmospheric radiation science and remote sensing to join Department of Energys new Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME) project. The position offers an excellent environment for working with a highly skilled interdisciplinary team developing ACME uniting climate and computational scientists across eight national laboratories and their academic partners. The postdoc will also join the Climate Sciences Department at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and will work directly with the ACME Chief Scientist and Department Head. The Department is active in advancing many facets of climate-related fundamental and applied science.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">The successful candidate will focus on representing the fundamental radiative forcings and feedbacks of the climate system in ACME and on projecting the implications of these processes for future climate change. The goals of this position are to understand the significance of these processes in one or more of the three primary scientific foci of ACME, which concern the evolution of the hydrological and carbon cycles and the risk of rapid sea-level rise from Antarctica. The position entails using a combination of empirical, theoretical, and computational radiative transfer in order to attain these goals. The work will synthesize observations with sophisticated radiative transfer modeling and with ACME, the newest comprehensive Earth System Model (ESM).</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b style="font-size: 12px;">Specific Responsibilities:</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><b> </b>Analyze the radiative effects of greenhouse gases, aerosols, and clouds on the ACME model system.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Understand the implications of these radiative effects using projections of the near future from ACME.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Interpret these effects using radiative transfer models ranging from parameterized to line-by-line codes.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Develop diagnostic frameworks for interactions among radiative forcings, responses, and feedbacks.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Apply these frameworks to project changes in the hydrological cycle, carbon cycle, and / or sea-level rise.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Advance the evaluation of ACME using the latest generations of radiometric and remote sensing data.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Author technical reports and peer-reviewed journal articles.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Produce and deliver oral and written presentations of scientific results.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Work effective in a large and integrated team.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Contribute to an active intellectual environment.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b style="font-size: 12px;">Essential Qualifications:</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Ph.D. in atmospheric science, physics, applied mathematics, or a closely related field.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Working knowledge of the radiative processes in the Earths climate system.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Require an applicant with a wide range of skills in:</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Application of a wide array of remote sensing products and satellite emulators to evaluate ESMs</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Intensive use of state-of-the-science ESMs to hindcast and forecast climate</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Investigation of the connections between atmospheric radiation and climate dynamics</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Oral and written presentation of results</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Ability to work in an integrated team environment.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Experience in the development or use of coupled climate models.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Experience in analysis of the climate system using simulations, observations, and advanced analytical techniques.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Strong written and oral communications skills.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Strong mathematical skills.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Demonstrated ability to initiate and conduct innovative and creative research.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><b>Notes:</b> Berkeley Lab understands the postdoctoral experience in a research environment is unique.
