Atmospheric Science Postdoctoral Scholar

The  <https://eesa.lbl.gov/our-divisions/climate-ecosystem-sciences/>
Climate & Ecosystem Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) seeks an Atmospheric Science Postdoctoral Scholar
to research land-atmosphere interactions across multiple scales. This
position is part of an interdisciplinary project to advance fundamental
understanding and modeling of soil moisture-vegetation-precipitation
feedbacks affecting the statistics of drought and heavy precipitation
extremes. Research topics include the role of soil moisture, surface heat
fluxes, and cold-pools in convective initiation, land-surface and
boundary-layer influences on the timing and intensity of deep convection on
diurnal to multiday timescales, and regimes or preferred modes of multiscale
land-atmosphere interactions. The successful candidate will join a highly
collaborative and effective team solving fundamental problems in climate and
atmospheric science.

To be considered, please attach to your online application in PDF form: 

.        CV

.        One-two page application letter describing research interests and
relevant experience

.        Contact information for three references

.        One-two publications, via Berkeley Lab's jobs portal

What You Will Do:

.        Design, conduct, and publish research on clouds and related
land-atmosphere interactions.

.        Analyze and interpret complex atmospheric model experiments and
observational datasets, in terms of atmospheric physics and dynamics.

.        Combine observations from DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement
program (ARM) facilities and AmerFlux, and cloud-resolving model
experiments, to advance DOE's Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM).

.        Publish peer-reviewed journal articles, and communicate findings to
peers.

.        Contribute to reports and communications with program managers that
fund this work.

What Is Required:

.        PhD(earned within 2 years) in Atmospheric Science, or related
field, with equivalent research experience.

.        Expertise in atmospheric modeling, and working knowledge of remote
sensing, or vice versa.

.        Strong background and interest in atmospheric physics and dynamics.

.        Established record of publication and presentation.

.        Ability to work independently in a collaborative environment.

.        Excellent written and oral communication skills.

Additional Desired Qualifications:

.        Data assimilation or observation/remote-sensing simulators.

.        Familiarity with terrestrial ecosystem science or land-atmosphere
interactions research.

The posting shall remain open until the position is filled. 

Notes: 

.        This is a full time, 1 year, postdoctoral appointment with the
possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing
availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. You must have less than
4 years paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for Postdoctoral positions
depends on years of experience post-degree.              

.        Full-time, M-F, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay.

.        This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining
purposes.

.        Salary will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates.

.        This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions
will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the
responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction
history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered
for employment.

.        Work will be primarily performed at: Lawrence Berkeley National
Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA.
