[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Scientist - Oceanography at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University

[Aileen Goldberg]

Postdoctoral Research Scientist, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of 
Columbia University

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University invites 
applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in the Ocean 
Carbon Group.

The position will focus on quantifying and reducing uncertainty in 
extrapolations of sparse surface ocean pCO2 observations to global 
coverage. The work will involve (1) evaluation of existing 
extrapolations for surface ocean pCO2 within an existing testbed based 
in Large Ensemble climate models, (2) developing new extrapolation 
techniques that include explicit estimates of uncertainty, and (3) 
assessing implications for scientific understanding of the mechanisms of 
spatial and temporal variability in the ocean carbon sink. Prior 
experience with oceanography, carbon cycle science and statistical 
methods is strongly preferred.

The candidate will be expected to build strong links with collaborators 
in the Department of Statistics and the Data Science Institute at 
Columbia, and at NOAA research laboratories.

Candidates should have completed or be nearing completion of a PhD in 
oceanography. Excellent communication, interpersonal and organizational 
skills and ability to use independent judgment required. Evidence of the 
ability to conduct and publish high quality research is required.

Proposed start date is November 1st 2020, with some flexibility. 
Appointments will be for 1-year, with continuation pending funding and 
progress.

Search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears and 
will continue until the position is filled.
