Job Description

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is recruiting a postdoctoral
scientist to improve understanding and modeling of air mass transport and
transformation of heat, moisture and aerosols between high and midlatitudes,
and their effect on the environment. The successful candidate will perform
analysis of observations and design/execute modeling experiments using
global and/or regional climate models to investigate processes that
influence the mid and high latitudes. Expertise in modeling and/or analysis
(including statistical and Machine Learning methods) relevant to atmospheric
transport, clouds, precipitation and climate dynamics is desired. A
successful candidate will join a team of researchers with a broad range of
interests and expertise and is expected to publish his/her work in peer
reviewed journals.

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

Required:

.        Demonstrated familiarity with numerical models, and analysis of
climate model simulations and observational datasets

.        Excellent written and oral communication skills in English

.        Ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams as well
as ability to independently pursue original ideas and new directions

.        Interest in contributing to an active intellectual environment

.        Demonstrated record of publications in peer reviewed journals

Preferred:

.        Demonstrated expertise in atmospheric transport and feedback
analysis

.        Familiarity with high performance computing, atmospheric modeling,
and statistical analysis

.        Experience with in situ and/or remote sensing data sets

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

.        Familiarity with Linux/Unix computational environments

.        Ability to think critically and develop and test hypotheses using a
combination of measurements and models.

A Ph.D. degree in Atmospheric Sciences, Meteorology, Climate Science,
Physics, Statistics, or related field is required.
