[Oppslist] Postdoctoral Position in Earth-System Modeling of Multi-Year Cycles in Aerosol Radiative Effects

[Lynn Russell]

A postdoctoral position is available in the Russell Research Group at 
Scripps Institution of Oceanography in the University of California, San 
Diego. The successful candidate will be responsible for comparing and 
interpreting the modeled and observed cloud effects of aerosol using 
CESM/CAM5 simulations and observational records, in collaboration with 
members of the NSF/DOE SIO-PNNL-NCAR EaSM team.The focus of the project 
is on understanding the interaction between multi-year cycles in the 
atmosphere and climate (e.g. ENSO, AMO, PDO) with aerosol emissions, 
concentrations, and forcing.The successful candidate will lead the 
scientific analysis of simulations and observations of one or more types 
of natural aerosol emissions (including DMS). He/she would also have the 
opportunity to be involved in additional projects, likely including 
wildfires and biogenic emissions.

A completed PhD within the last 3 years in atmospheric sciences, earth 
or ocean sciences, or a related discipline is required. Required skills 
include computer programming, statistics, and complex data analysis. 
Experience with EOF and other statistical analyses of long climate or 
meteorological model simulations (150 years) and large climate, 
meteorological, or related satellite data sets (50 years) is highly 
desirable. The successful candidate will also havea demonstrated 
commitment to publication of results. Strong verbal and written 
communication skills are necessary.

To apply, please send email to me at lmrussell at ucsd.edu 
<mailto:lmrussell at ucsd.edu>with a single attached pdf file that includes 
a cover letter describing your research interests, a CV, date of 
availability, 1-3 first-author journal paper reprints in PDF, and a list 
of 4 references. The initial appointment will be for one year, with the 
expectation of renewal for at least one year upon satisfactory 
performance, with additional years possible pending continued funding. 
Background information about the research group, techniques, and 
previous publications and projects is available at
