The Postdoctoral Research Associate will perform climate model analysis and experiments, addressing exciting scientific questions related to the dynamics of water mass changes and Arctic freshwater pathways, for both present, future, and past climates. An overarching theme of the work of the Postdoctoral Research Associate will be the comparison of climate model simulations with observations and proxy data, using novel tracers to improve the understanding of oceanic processes important for global climate. This work will be done in collaboration with climate modeling and ocean proxy experts at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, within INSTAAR, and at the Ohio State University. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Requirements:</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Ph.D. in the atmospheric, oceanic, climate, or Earth sciences, or a closely related discipline.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Excitement and curiosity for interdisciplinary climate research questions</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Experience in the analysis of global climate model output.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Coding experience in languages such as NCL, Matlab and/or Python.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>A promising publication track record.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Ability to communicate effectively in english, both in writing and verbally.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Desirable: </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Experience with the Community Earth System Model (CESM).</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Experience in performing model simulations, preferably with the CESM.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Subject matter expertise in one or several of the following: North Atlantic/Arctic ocean dynamics, Arctic Ocean freshwater, oceanic watermasses, paleoclimate of the past 20,000 years, model/observation/proxy comparisons, model development, CESM, oceanic isotopes (13C, 14C, neodymium, water isotopes, Pa/Th).</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Experience with analyzing CMIP ocean model output across multiple models.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>This position is available immediately.
