<p style="line-height: 18.1200008392334px;">A Research
Associate is needed at the Department of Atmospheric and
Oceanic Sciences, at the University of Colorado, to
conduct innovative research in the area of understanding
Indian Ocean decadal climate variability. The overall goal
is to investigate the causes for Indian Ocean decadal<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="caps">SST</span><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>variability and
its associated atmospheric variability in the coupled
climate system, with particular focus on exploring the
role of Indian Ocean internal processes (versus external
forcing) in generating the variability. The approach is to
combine observational analysis using advanced statistic
techniques (e.g., linear inverse modeling) with modeling
experiments using coupled global climate models (e.g.,
NCAR’s Community Earth System Model). The successful
applicant will work with the Principal Investigator
(Weiqing Han) in collaboration with scientists at<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="caps">NOAA</span><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(Matt Newman, CoI;
Mike Alexander, collaborator) and<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="caps">NCAR</span><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(Jerry Meehl and
Aixue Hu, collaborators). Applications should include
Curriculum Vitae with a publication list, 3 names of
references, and a cover letter that describes previous and
current research activities and qualifications for the
Research Associate (“postdoctoral researcher”) advertised
at the University of Colorado.</p>
<p style="line-height: 18.1200008392334px;">At the time of
appointment, the successful candidate should have a Ph.D.
degree in ocean, atmospheric, climate sciences, or a
related field. Statistical data analysis skills are
required and modeling experience – particularly for
running coupled climate models – is preferred. Initial
appointment is for two years with possible renewal for
another year, contingent upon performance and availability
of funds. Inquiries may be directed to Weiqing Han
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:whan@colorado.edu">whan@colorado.edu</a>). Applications will continue to be
accepted until the position is filled. The position may
start in the fall of 2015 or on a mutually agreeable date.</p>
