Postdoctoral Position in Regional Hydroclimate Variability and Change


 

The UCLA Center for Climate Science seeks a postdoctoral scholar to be
supervised by Prof. Alex Hall and Dr. Naomi Goldenson, contributing to
efforts to understand regional changes to the hydrologic cycle in
partnership with stakeholders in California. The term would initially be for
one year, but is renewable for at least one additional year, contingent on
funding and satisfactory progress.

The general research involves using global and regional climate models to
identify and understand regional changes in the hydrologic cycle under
climate change, with a particular focus on heavy precipitation and drought
in California. This position is unique in that it includes engagement with
water managers and other stakeholders. In particular we seek to formulate
storylines to quantify likely climate impacts in a scientifically
justifiable and accessible manner. 

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences or a related field,
effective oral and written communication skills, and strong programming and
analytical skills. Experience with or inclination to learn Python is
preferred. Candidates should demonstrate interest in both the relevant
outstanding regional climate questions and the process of informing research
questions through stakeholder interactions.

Applicants should submit (1) a statement of research interests and goals, no
longer than one page, and (2) a complete CV, including contact information
for three references. These materials should be addressed to Ms. Katharine
Reich at  <mailto:kreich at ioes.ucla.edu> kreich at ioes.ucla.edu. Please mention
where you saw this posting. Consideration of applications will begin
immediately and continue until the position is filled.
