Each position would begin as soon as possible. Each would initially be for one year, but is renewable for one or more years, contingent on satisfactory progress.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For the first position, the general research area is downscaling global climate model output to produce credible high-spatial-resolution projections of anthropogenic climate change over the Western U.S., analyzing these projections, and developing innovative and more accurate downscaling methods that can be applied more broadly. The science this position will produce will be of great interest to water managers and other stakeholders, and there is the potential to interact with the stakeholder community. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For the second position, the general research area is using global and regional climate models to understand climate change impacts on drought, vegetation, and wildfire in California. The science this position will produce will be of great interest to water managers, forest and fire managers, and other stakeholders, and there is the potential to interact with the stakeholder community. This project is part of a larger effort to understand the future of hydrologic extremes. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any candidate with interest in these topics is invited to apply.
