[ES_JOBS_NET] Research scientist position in Earth system modeling and carbon-climate-human system feedbacks at ORNL

[Ben Sulman]

A new mid-career research scientist position in the areas of Earth system
modeling and carbon-climate-human system feedbacks is available at Oak
Ridge National Laboratory, within the Climate Change Science Institute and
the Environmental Sciences Division.



We seek an established scientist to develop and lead Earth system modeling
research efforts, with particular focus on improved understanding and
prediction of carbon-climate feedbacks, human-climate interactions, and
coupled Earth system-human system implications of climate policy decision
scenarios.



This new position will leverage ORNL's world-class capabilities in Earth
system model development, climate system feedback analysis, ecosystem-scale
observation and experimentation, high performance computing, and data
science to help answer pressing questions at the frontiers of climate
change science, analysis of climate policy implications for coupled Earth
system dynamics, and prediction of future ecosystem states in a changing
climate system.



We seek candidates dedicated to forming close collaborations among teams of
observationalists, experimentalists, and modelers, working across the
disciplinary boundaries of physical and biological science, ecosystem and
human system science, applied computation, and software architecture, to
deliver comprehensive analytical capabilities for coupled Earth system
prediction.



The successful candidate will be encouraged and supported in developing and
implementing a novel research vision connected to Earth system modeling at
an unprecedented level of process resolution, spatial resolution, and
representation of human system integration with physical, biological, and
ecological systems.



Minimum qualifications for the position include a PhD in a relevant
scientific discipline, and at least 8 years of employment post-PhD in a
research-oriented position. Additional qualifications include a strong
publication record showing significant impact in one or more relevant
fields of research, and excellent communication skills. Experience with
project management is desirable.
