<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to evaluate the newly revitalized atmospheric single column model (SCM) in the Energy-Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). You will explore the applicability of the
SCM for general circulation model (GCM) development and use the SCM in conjunction with observational datasets to understand E3SM cloud biases. This position is in the Cloud Processes Research group in the Atmospheric, Earth, and Energy Division.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
