<span style="color:black">The Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS) seeks to fill a Postdoctoral Research Associate position for projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA), the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The Postdoctoral Research Associate will participate in and analyze data from experimental field projects seeking to obtain a better quantitative knowledge
of the microphysical properties of clouds, to better understand cloud processes and to represent them in weather and climate models.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:18.0pt">
<span style="color:black">The Director of CIMMS has a number of ongoing and planned field projects making air- and ship-borne in-situ and remote sensing measurements of cloud properties, including projects investigating Southern Ocean clouds, Arctic clouds,
mesoscale convective systems, winter storms, tropical cyclones, and others. Investigations using these data to determine how cloud properties vary with environmental and aerosol conditions are expected to continue for several years. Further, the uncertainties
in derived cloud properties will be used to develop a new-generation of stochastic parameterizations for incorporation into models.

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:18.0pt">
<span style="color:black">The incumbent will participate in the collection of data during field campaigns, process data collected by cloud probes using the University of Oklahoma software, help organize future field campaigns, assist in proposal preparation,
conduct scientific analysis with the collected data, write papers for the refereed literature, and present the results of findings at national and international meetings. It is also expected that the incumbent will interface with investigators at several other
universities and institutes, making derived cloud products available to other investigators as well as receiving data from probes operated by others for use in scientific investigations. Development of parameterizations and execution of model simulations may
also be required.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
