[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc position at University of Illinois | Aerosol-Cloud modeling

[Riemer, Nicole]

Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for Postdoctoral Researcher Opportunity

We are seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The successful candidate will work on developing a coupled aerosol-cloud model for process-level investigation of the aerosol-cloud droplet-ice crystal life cycle in stratiform mixed-phase clouds.

The goal of this DOE-ASR-funded project is to gain a predictive understanding of the process chain that leads from aerosols to ice-nucleating particles to ice crystal number concentrations in stratiform mixed-phase clouds.

The successful candidate will work with an interdisciplinary team of cloud and aerosol modelers and experimentalists from Stony Brook University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, NASA-GISS, and Penn State University.

The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal for one additional year based on performance and continuation of funding. The salary is $50,000 and includes University of Illinois benefits (https://www.hr.uillinois.edu/UserFiles/Servers/Server_4208/File/Benefits/EmployeeBenefits.pdf). The applicant must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent international degree) in atmospheric sciences, or a related field, and a demonstrated record of research and publication. Advanced scientific programming skills are essential, and previous experience with cloud and aerosol modeling from the process level to the large scale is highly desirable.

To apply for this opportunity please email a cover letter, brief research statement, CV including publications list, and contact information for three references to Prof. Nicole Riemer at nriemer at illinois.edu. Given the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible to start the position remotely. Screening of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
