*Science and Technology on a Mission!*

For more than 60 years, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
has applied science and technology to make the world a safer place.

We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work in the area of
investigating the effect of soil moisture and surface heterogeneity on
cloud formation and convection triggering using both ground-based and
satellite observations and large-eddy simulations. This position is in the
Cloud Processes Research group in the Atmospheric, Earth, and Energy
Division.

*Essential Duties*
- Conduct original research on the processes governing cloud and convective
responses to different soil moisture and surface heterogeneity conditions.
- Contribute to the conception, design, and execution of research in the
area of land-atmosphere-cloud interaction using both observation and
modeling tools.
- Publish research results in technical reports and peer-reviewed journals
and present technical results at scientific conferences.
- Travel as required to coordinate research with collaborators.
- Pursue independent (but complementary) research interests and interact
with a broad spectrum of scientists internally and externally.
- Perform other duties as assigned.

*Qualifications*
- Recent PhD in atmospheric science or closely related field.
- Experience conducting research in atmospheric science or closely related
field.
- Experience and expertise in one or more of the following areas: clouds
associated with cumulus convection and their interaction with land surface,
land surface processes and modeling, moist convection thermodynamics, and
boundary layer turbulence.
- Experience with satellite- and/or ground-based observations such as those
collected by NASA and the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement program.
- Experience with large model datasets, modern programming environments,
and visualization techniques.
- Demonstrated fundamental verbal and written communication skills as
evidenced by published results and presentations.
- Experience collaborating effectively with a team of scientists of diverse
backgrounds and ability to travel to coordinate research with collaborators.

*Pre-Employment Drug Test:*  External applicant(s) selected for this
position will be required to pass a post-offer, pre-employment drug test.


*Anticipated Clearance Level: * None.

*Note: *  This is a two-year Postdoctoral appointment with the possibility
of extension to a maximum of three years.  Eligible candidates are recent
PhDs within five years of the month of the degree award at time of hire
date.
