Postdoctoral researcher positions at Washington State University Vancouver to study climate extremes and their impacts


The Climate Change, Extremes and Impacts Group in the School of the Environment<https://environment.wsu.edu/> at WSU Vancouver (WSUV) invites applications for post-doctoral researchers interested in studying climate and weather extremes and their impacts on human and natural systems. Current areas of emphasis in the lab include: (1) physical processes affecting high-impact extreme weather events on various spatial and temporal scales, (2) predictability of extreme events, (3) influence of anthropogenic activities (greenhouse gases, aerosols, and land-surface changes) on historical and projected climate change, and (4) impacts of extremes on agriculture and farmer livelihoods in India. Related publications can be found here https://deeptis47.github.io/. The postdoc will have flexibility in designing projects to advance these areas and are particularly encouraged to expand into newer avenues at the intersection of climate change and societal impacts.


Candidates should have a Ph.D. in meteorology, atmospheric/climate/environmental science, statistics or a relevant field at the time of appointment. Successful candidates will have demonstrated an ability to conduct creative and independent research, and publish peer-reviewed articles. Experience working with climate data, applying advanced statistical techniques, and an interest in engaging in interdisciplinary research, is desirable. WSU has close research ties with Pacific Northwest National Labs (PNNL) and candidates will be encouraged to build collaborations with PNNL researchers, if they desire. We are committed to building a diverse research group, and encourage applications from underrepresented groups.


The position is available immediately and applications will be reviewed as they are received. The appointment will be for 2 years with the possibility for a 1-year renewal depending on availability of funds and performance.
