In particular, the postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for designing, conducting, and analyzing controlled numerical model experiments to test a number of research hypotheses focused on the efficacy of extratropical atmospheric forcing of ENSO events. This research will improve our understanding of sources and limitations of ENSO predictability, and lead to improved predictions of developing ENSO events. The successful candidate will also have access to numerous career preparation activities including collaboration with researchers in both academic and cooperative (academic-federal) institutions, funding to attend national and international conferences, and access to professional development seminars and workshops for early-career researchers.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(69,69,69);font-family:"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16.25px">Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography, Atmospheric Science or a related field and a demonstrated ability/interest in publishing results in the peer-reviewed literature. Highly desirable qualifications include the ability to run ocean and global coupled climate models. Prior experience with a commonly used global coupled climate model, such as GFDL’s coupled climate model or NCAR’s community earth system model, is also desirable but not required. Knowledge of Unix, Fortran, and/or C+, along with good oral and written communications skills, is also sought.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(69,69,69);font-family:"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:16.25px">Applicants must apply online at <a href="http://www.miami.edu/careers" rel="nofollow" style="box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(26,25,26)">http://www.miami.edu/careers</a> (Position #P100019270).
