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.
