[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Scholar in North American Paleohydroclimatology, University of Arizona

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

Postdoctoral Scholar in North American Paleohydroclimatology
Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research
University of Arizona

We have a new position for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the area of
Common Era paleohydroclimatology. The postdoctoral researcher will work on
an NSF-funded project integrating high-resolution paleoclimate data with
climate model simulations of past mountain snowpack variability and related
climate fields in North America. Possible projects could include but are not
limited to: climate field reconstructions; proxy-model integration and
comparison; paleoclimate modeling; data assimilation. 

We seek a dynamic early career scientist with background and experience in
one or more of the following areas: Holocene paleoclimatology,
dendroclimatology, dendrohydrology, climate modeling, climate dynamics,
applied mathematics or statistics, paleoclimate data assimilation. Potential
starting dates are between January 2019 and July 2019, and candidates should
have their Ph.D. in a relevant discipline by the start of the position.
Programming experience (Python, MATLAB, R, or similar) is required. Prior
experience using large spatiotemporal datasets - including those from
climate model simulations - is recommended. Some prior experience developing
new proxy data is desirable but is not required. The postdoctoral scientist
is expected to be an active and engaged member of the Past Landscapes Lab
(http://www.u.arizona.edu/~kanchukaitis).

The postdoctoral research scientist will be based at the Laboratory of
Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona and will
be supervised by Dr. Kevin Anchukaitis (University of Arizona) and Dr.
Bethany Coulthard (University of Nevada Las Vegas). The postdoctoral
research scientist will join a strong and diverse cross-campus research
community with interests in climate, paleoclimate, and global environmental
change. The initial appointment will be for up to 24 months, with the
possibility of further continuation contingent on performance and funding
availability. 

Please contact Kevin Anchukaitis (kanchukaitis at email.arizona.edu
<mailto:kanchukaitis at email.arizona.edu> ) with expressions of interest or
for further information. The official job posting and online application is
available from UA Careers: https://uacareers.com/postings/31459.  Women,
minorities, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from
other underrepresented groups in the earth and environmental sciences are
encouraged to apply. The Past Landscapes Lab supports Inclusive Excellence,
the University of Arizona strategic initiative designed to engage every
member of the university community in diversity and inclusiveness. 

Review of applications will begin on November 1st, 2018, and continue until
the position is filled
