  Hi Friends and Colleagues,

I just wanted to let you know of postdoc opportunities in my group at PNNL.
Please post or forward to any parties that you think might be interested.

My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. We are trying
for a broad distribution.

Best regards,

Phil Rasch

*Job Description*

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is recruiting *up to three
postdoctoral research associates* to work on projects related to
high-resolution global Climate and Earth System models. We are particularly
interested in features pertaining to the Earth’s water cycle,
aerosol-cloud-climate interactions, and interactions between Earth’s
atmosphere and surface components, that are often influenced by natural and
anthropogenic gaseous and aerosol emissions. We are interested in answering
hypothesis-driven physical questions, but also in the computational
challenges of modeling these processes accurately on current and upcoming
computer systems.

The selected candidates will work with PNNL scientists on one or more of
the following projects: 1) ACME (Accelerated Climate Modeling for Energy;
<http://listserve.pnnl.gov/t/654731/582405/261/4/>
http://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/projects/accelerated-climate-modeling-energy);
2) HiLAT (High Latitude Climate Change modeling; http://www.hilat.org); 3)
development and evaluation of CEDS (the Community Emission Data System;
<http://listserve.pnnl.gov/t/654731/582405/263/6/>
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/conference/ei21/session2/ssmith.pdf) and
subsequent climate science application exploring emissions role in climate
change; and 4) A nascent project in climate/computational science that
includes a component to explore efficient model testing and evaluation
methods using ensembles of simulations suitable for next generation
computing systems (e.g.,  <http://listserve.pnnl.gov/t/654731/582405/265/7/>
http://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-7-1961-2014).

*Minimum Qualifications*

Candidates must have received a PhD within the past five years from an
accredited college or university.

*Qualifications*

Candidates should have experience in analysis and/or modeling of at least
one of the following: a) components of the atmospheric hydrologic or
aerosol cycles; b) interactions between the atmosphere and surface (i.e.,
ice, land, and ocean); c) climate variability; d) anthropogenic aerosols
and their impact on the climate system; and e) computational climate
modeling.

*Required:*

   - Demonstrated familiarity with numerical modeling and analysis of the
   atmosphere or the Earth’s climate system
   - Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
   - Ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams.
   - Interest in contributing to an active intellectual environment

*Preferred:*

   - Demonstrated expertise in process parameterization, or diagnosis of
   model fidelity, behavior or deficiencies,
   - Familiarity with high performance computing, and statistical analysis
   - Experience with large datasets and efficient computation, including
   parallel processing.
   - Experience with computer languages usually used for climate modeling
   and analysis (Fortran, Python, R, NCL, Matlab, IDL, etc.)
   - Familiarity with Linux/Unix computational environments

*Preferred Education/Credential:*

   - A Ph.D. in Hydrology, Geoscience, Atmospheric Science, Civil and
   Environmental Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related
   subjects is required.

 *Equal Employment Opportunity*

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is an Affirmative Action /
Equal Opportunity Employer and supports diversity in the workplace. All
employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital or family status,
sexual orientation, gender identity, or genetic information. All staff at
the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory must be able to demonstrate the
legal right to work in the United States.
