<p style="margin-bottom:7.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#333333">The Department of Geography, within the College of Arts and Sciences at the University at Buffalo, invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar to investigate
the roles that aeolian dust, the land surface, and vegetation play in determining both regional and global climate. The importance of the land surface to the atmosphere is a rapidly growing field of climate research, particularly the role of dust in energy
balance, cloud formation, and biogeochemistry. The specific research direction will be developed based on the skills and interest of the applicant but will generally be targeted toward understanding the role of dust in a changing climate, feedbacks between
dust, drought, and vegetation, and understanding sources of dust emission and deposition variability at various timescales.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
