[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Scientist, Atmospheric Chemistry Group, Columbia University

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York, is seeking a
Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join its Atmospheric Chemistry Group
(https://atmoschem.ldeo.columbia.edu/), under the mentorship of Professor
Arlene Fiore and Dr. Dan Westervelt
(https://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~danielmw/), within the Lamont research
community.  The project involves collaboration with scientists in the
Mailman School of Public Health, Ecology Evolution and Environmental
Biology, Electrical Engineering and the Data Sciences Institute.  

The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will apply multiple data science
approaches to identify sources of fine particle pollution over India.  A
model will be used as a testbed for method development, with an eventual
application of these methods to products retrieved from current and
soon-to-be launched satellite instruments and other public datasets.  We
seek a data scientist or atmospheric/climate scientist with prior experience
analyzing, visualizing, and interpreting large datasets.  The researcher is
expected to present findings at national and international scientific
conferences, to prepare publications for submission to scientific journals,
and to participate in other activities related to the project.  

Ph.D. in Atmospheric, Climate, or Earth System Science, Statistics, Applied
Mathematics, Engineering, or related field is required.  Prior scientific
experience and strong coding skills in data visualization and statistical
analysis (e.g., Python, R, Matlab, Fortran, etc.) required.  Experience with
designing, configuring and conducting model simulations also useful.  

Appointment will be for one year with potential renewal for a second year
contingent on progress and funding.  Columbia University benefits are
offered with this Officer of Research appointment.  

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