CEDAR email: Postdoctoral Position in Atmospheric and Space Physics, Clemson University

[Jens Oberheide]

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Clemson University invites applications for a postdoctoral position in atmospheric and space physics under the mentorship of Professor Jens Oberheide <http://globaldynamics.sites.clemson.edu/> . The position is focused on analyzing mesospheric water vapor variability from SABER and how wave-driven residual mean circulation changes impact the composition of the thermosphere as observed by GOLD. Research duties include comparative diagnostics using the WACCM-X model.

The anticipated start date is fall/winter 2021; some flexibility is possible on the specific time of arrival. The initial appointment will be for one year with the option for renewal for a second year, depending on performance.

The position is suitable for applicants with a background in numerical modeling and/or data analysis. Preference will be given to applicants who have experience with middle and upper atmosphere satellite analysis, and held a PhD in physics or another relevant field for no more than five years or expect to graduate in 2021. 

All applications received by July 8, 2021 are guaranteed full consideration; however, applications will continue to be reviewed until the position is filled.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications, dissertation abstract, a clearly articulated statement of research interests of no more than 3 pages excluding references, and the names and contact data of three references as a single PDF to http://apply.interfolio.com/83013 <http://apply.interfolio.com/83013> . Reference letters will only be sought for short-listed candidates.

For further information, contact Professor Oberheide at joberhe at clemson.edu <mailto:joberhe at clemson.edu>. I will also attend the CEDAR meeting and will be available for a side meeting in case you would like to talk to me about the position. Just send me an email to set something up.
