collaborate with Dr. Pedro DiNezio on projects focusing on the
dynamics of the Earth’s climate. Particular areas of interest
include tropical climatology, ENSO dynamics and prediction,
decadal variability, as well as past and future climate
changes. Research will involve configuring, running, and
analyzing climate model simulations, observational analysis,
and the development of process-based diagnostics and
proxy-model synthesis. Candidates are invited to propose
specific research projects aligned with the themes outlined
above (optional).</span></p>
