Post Doctoral Fellowships in High Resolution Climate Simulation

As many as two postdoctoral fellowships are available to work on a new five
year project involving high resolution climate simulation of the Holocene
epoch for the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Levant. The work is to
involve the dynamical downscaling of global model-derived climate
reconstructions based upon CESM in which WRF is employed as the regional
climate model. The existing Toronto pipeline requires augmentation to
incorporate both a regional ocean model such as ROMS and a state of the art
model of climate-vegetation interactions. This effort  will be tightly
coupled to and constitute a critical component of the international
archeological project CRANE, the goal of which is to understand the
evolution of human societies  in a period in which significant climate
change was occurring. The successful candidates for these positions will
have significant established technical ability in high performance
computation and expertise in either regional ocean modeling or coupled
climate-vegetation modeling and analysis. These positions are guaranteed for
a period of two years with an extension being possible depending upon
performance. The salaries for these positions are competitive and the search
will continue until they are filled. Interested person should provide a
curriculum vitae and the names and contact information of two references to
the following address:
