Job Description

The Atmospheric Sciences and Global Change Division at Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory (PNNL) seeks a postdoctoral scientists to mainly work on
a project related to severe thunderstorm modeling and observational
analysis. The main work is about high-resolution modeling and observational
analysis of severe storms to understand dynamical and physical factors
impacting severe storms including changes in temperature, land surface, and
aerosols. The postdoc associate may also invove in conducting global climate
models (GCMs) simulations at regionally-refined configuration and evaluating
the performance of such simulations in simulating severe storm properties.

Minimum Qualifications

Candidates must have received a PhD within the past five years (60 months)
or within the next 8 months from an accredited college or university.

Preferred Qualifications

The candidate should have demonstrated expertise in severe storm dynamics
and physics, and CRM/LES modeling. Proficiency with FORTRAN in atmospheric
modeling is required. Understanding of atmospheric and land-surface
observational data and familiar with the observational data assimilation and
analysis are pluses. Teamwork and strong communication skills for engaging
with project teams are essential.

Required:

Demonstrated familiarity with numerical modeling and analysis of the
atmosphere and severe weather

Excellent written and oral communication skills in English

Ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams.

Interest in contributing to an active intellectual environment

Preferred:

Demonstrated expertise in physical understanding of severe storm related
processes.

Familiarity with high performance computing, and statistical analysis

Experience with land-atmosphere interactions, aerosol-cloud interactions,
and data assimilation.

Experience with computer languages usually used for climate modeling and
analysis (Fortran, Python, R, NCL, Matlab, IDL, etc.)

Familiarity with Linux/Unix computational environments

A Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science, Hydrology, Physics, or related subjects is
required
