The project is a collaboration between Dr. Andrea Ray at the NOAA/Earth System Research Lab Physical Sciences Division, Dr. Balaji Rajagopalan at the University of Colorado, and the group of Dr. Richard Seager at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University. The incumbent will be located at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, and the position is through August 31, 2019. We will begin reviewing applications June 18th, and continue until the position is filled.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='mso-margin-top-alt:15.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:15.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center;background:#FBFBFB'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;color:#333333'><hr size=0 width="100%" align=center></span></div><h2 style='mso-margin-top-alt:15.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;background:#FBFBFB;box-sizing: border-box;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px'><span style='font-size:22.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;color:#333333;font-weight:normal'>Responsibilities<o:p></o:p></span></h2><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:18.0pt;background:#FBFBFB;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:1rem'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;color:#555555'>The successful candidate will conduct research in a highly applied and multidisciplinary context. In the first part of this 5-year project, we developed an understanding of regional needs for climate science for practitioners of natural resource management in the Plains and Prairie Potholes region of the Great Plains. At the same time, the physical scientists at Lamont and CU have pushed forward the understanding of climate, with regional foci on the Great Plains/Missouri Basin, the Southwest/American Monsoon region, and the Rio Grande basin. The new post-doc is expected to work on more directly connecting the completed and ongoing science as part of the project with this understanding of practitioner needs, either in the Great Plains/Missouri Basin or the American Monsoon region. This phase of the 5-year project is intended to connect the science understanding with specific climate-sensitive decisions and management, and entry points for climate information in management and planning processes, and provide feedback to the final phase of the hydroclimate research. Activities may include analyzing policy and management decisions and the institutions making them to identify needs and entry points for climate information by land, water, and ecosystem management practitioners in one or more of the target regions; assessing how evolving understanding of long term changes in regional climate features might be relevant to management needs identified; and how to translate science under this project into useable knowledge.
