[Oppslist] Vacancy: Postdoc in Climate Modeling, Rutgers Univ (USA)

[Alan Robock]

Postdoctoral Position in Regional Climate Modeling at Rutgers University

        The Center for Environmental Prediction and the Department of
Environmental Sciences, Rutgers University, are seeking to hire a
postdoctoral research associate.  The candidate will join a team of
climate and hydrologic modelers (Alan Robock, Ying Fan Reinfelder,
Christopher Weaver) in an NSF-funded research project to study coupled
climatic and hydrologic changes at the seasonal to interannual scales
over the North American continent, and the role humans play in this
complex system.  The candidate will be responsible for expanding and
improving our recently-developed fully coupled regional
climate-hydrology model (RAMS-Hydrology), including adding cold-season
processes.  The ideal candidate must have experience in mesoscale
modeling with RAMS or a similar model, such as MM5 or WRF, and interest
in GCM modeling will be a plus.

        The position is for one year, renewable for another year with
satisfactory progress.  The candidate must have a recent Ph.D. in
meteorology, hydrology, or a related science, be able to write and speak
well in English, and be familiar with UNIX, FORTRAN, GrADS, HTML, and
other software tools.  The candidates will be expected to conduct
collaborative research, and to contribute fully to the direction of the
research program here.

        The position will be in the Center for Environmental Prediction
in the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers University in New
Brunswick, New Jersey.  The candidate will join a growing group in
atmospheric and hydrologic sciences, with links to the nearby NOAA
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and NASA Goddard Institute for
Space Studies.  The candidate will be appointed at Rutgers, which offers
an excellent benefit package to its employees.  Salary will be
commensurate with experience and position.  Consideration of
applications will begin April 1, 2005, and candidates will be considered
until the position is filled.


        To apply, please send electronically (as pdf, Word, or
postscript files) a resume, statement of research interests, abstract of
your Ph.D. dissertation, and the names, addresses, phone numbers, and
e-mail addresses of three references to:
