[Erika Roesler]

 Dear Colleagues,


I'd like to call your attention to a posting for a postdoctoral appointee
in our department.  The primary role of this postdoctoral appointee will be
to work on parameterizations of ice nucleation on dust in an atmospheric
general circulation model.   Please forward to anyone you think would be
interested in applying.  The posting will stay open through January, 2018
to advertise at AGU and AMS.  I've put this information on a PDF document
(attached) to make distribution easier.

Security Clearance

This position does not currently require a Department of Energy
(DOE)-granted security clearance.

Sandia will conduct a pre-employment drug testing, and a pre-employment
background review that includes personal reference checks, law enforcement
record checks, and employment and education verifications. Further,
employees in New Mexico must pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for
access to the work site. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification
of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators
of untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated, rendering
the inability to perform the duties assigned and resulting in termination
of employment.

If hired without a clearance, and one subsequently becomes required or you
bid on positions that require a DOE-granted security clearance, a
pre-processing background review that includes personal reference checks,
law enforcement record and credit checks, and employment and education
verifications may be conducted prior to a required federal background
investigation. Applicants for DOE-granted security clearances must be U.S.
citizens and be able to obtain and maintain the appropriate DOE security
clearance as required for the position.

What Your Job Will Be Like
The Atmospheric Sciences Department is seeking a postdoctoral research
associate to work on projects related to global earth system models and
global climate models for researching dust aerosols.  We are interested in
developing and using these models to improve our understanding of
atmospheric process of ice nucleation on dust as it relates to laboratory
measurements.

On any given day, you may be called on to:

   - Work to improve the representation of ice nucleation on dust aerosols
   in highly complex climate models that are typically employed at the
   Department of Energy’s Leadership Class supercomputing facilities;
   - Seek opportunities to expand your research portfolio in a wide variety
   of applications that include, but are not limited to, earth system
   modeling, regional climate modeling, and uncertainty quantification;
   - Work under the supervision of one or more research staff and
   collaborate with other researchers at Sandia, other national laboratories,
   and in academia.
