[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Researcher, Boundary Layer Meteorology, Boston University

[Dan Li]

Dear Earth Sciences Jobs Net,

Could you please distribute the following ad for a postdoc researcher in
boundary layer meteorology at Boston University? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Dan

The Environmental Fluid Mechanics group (http://sites.bu.edu/efm/) in the
Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University is seeking a
postdoctoral candidate interested in *boundary layer meteorology*. Using a
combination of data analysis and numerical simulations (e.g., large-eddy
simulations), the successful candidate will lead research on 1)
understanding the variabilities of boundary layer depth and implications
for air quality over the Continental United States, and/or 2) quantifying
dispersive fluxes over heterogeneous landscapes and implications for
numerical weather predictions.



Candidates with previous experience with boundary layer processes and
experience with high-performance computing in Unix based operating systems
and scientific computing languages (e.g., Matlab, Python) are preferred,
but highly motivated graduates with background in meteorology and
climatology, hydrology, geography, and earth sciences are encouraged to
apply. A Ph.D. degree is required by the time of appointment.



The successful candidate will benefit from close collaborations with
University of Buffalo, Washington State University, Geophysical Fluid
Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), and NASA. The successful candidate will also
benefit from an outstanding research environment at Boston University. In
particular, the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University
has strong strengths in areas of land-use/land-cover change and coupled
natural and human dimensions of climate change. The department is also home
to the Center for Remote Sensing, an active cluster of faculty who are
world leaders in this field.



Interested applicants should contact Dr. Dan Li (lidan at bu.edu). Please
include your latest CV and names of three references. Position start date
is as soon as possible but can be changed depending on the candidate’s
availability. Initial contract duration is 12 months. Extension is desired
but conditional on the performance of the candidate.



Boston University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified
applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to
race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected
veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Applications
from female and minority candidates are strongly encouraged. Boston
University offers a competitive salary and benefits package.
