          The State University of New York (SUNY) University at Albany’s
          Atmospheric Sciences Research Center invites applications for
          a postdoctoral researcher (PDRA) position on drought
          predictability in the southern Great Plains. The selected
          candidate will lead coupled regional modeling experiments
          using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model as part
          of an interdisciplinary team of hydrologists and
          meteorologists. The specific objective of the project is to
          improve understanding of how local (land) and remote (SST)
          drought drivers interact across weather-climate time scales
          and local-continental spatial scales and collectively
          influence drought in the southern Great Plains.<br>
          <br>
          The ideal candidate will have: strong programming skills in a
          Unix/Linux environment; experience using coupled regional
          models such as WRF; and understanding of mesoscale and
          synoptic meteorology, large-scale atmospheric (climate)
          dynamics, planetary boundary layer processes, and drought
          mechanisms.<br>
          <br>
          The position is available from September 2017 for an initial
          appointment of one year with possibility of extension for up
          to two additional years. To be eligible, applicants must have
          received their doctoral degree in Atmospheric Science,
          Meteorology, Hydrology or other climate-related science since
          September 2014.<br>
          <br>
