[ES_JOBS_NET] Post-Doctoral Research Scientist, Climate and Extreme Weather Laboratory, Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) at Purdue University

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

The  <http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~dchavas/> Climate and Extreme Weather
Laboratory in the  <http://www.eaps.purdue.edu/> Department of Earth,
Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) at Purdue University seeks a
highly-motivated candidate for a post-doctoral research scientist.

 

Project scope: The research project will focus on understanding climate
controls of hurricane landfall via the subtropical high. This position is
funded by a recently-awarded NSF CAREER grant to PI Chavas. The project will
involve testing hypotheses via the analysis of historical and climate model
data and the design and execution of idealized GCM experiments using CESM.
The candidate will also be given freedom to spend some of their time
pursuing novel scientific interests of their own, whether related to
atmospheric dynamics or inter-disciplinary topics.

 

Research environment and career development: The candidate will work closely
in a dynamic, team-oriented environment in the research lab of Prof. Dan
Chavas at Purdue University and with external collaborators. S/he will also
have numerous opportunities for career and professional development,
including presenting at scientific conferences, publishing papers in major
scientific journals, mentor graduate and undergraduate students, and writing
competitive scientific grants.  

 

Qualifications: The candidate is required to have a Ph.D. in atmospheric
science or a closely related field or anticipate receiving their degree in
the next 12 months. The candidate should have:

(1) Experience conducting research in atmospheric science or closely related
field.

(2) Experience running and analyzing atmospheric numerical models.

(3) Proficient verbal and written communication skills as evidenced by
published results and presentations.

 

Candidates with experience in climate modeling (particularly CESM) or
large-scale dynamics and interests in linking large-scale dynamics to
extreme weather are particularly encouraged to apply. Additionally,
applicants from underrepresented populations are strongly encouraged to
apply.

 

How to apply: Interested applicants should contact Prof. Dan Chavas (
<mailto:dchavas at purdue.edu> dchavas at purdue.edu) to submit an application and
to answer any questions. Applications must include:

(1) a statement of research experience and interests;

(2) a current CV; and

(3) a list of names and contact information for three referees.

 

About Purdue: Purdue EAPS is a leader in the study of the dynamics of the
Earth's atmosphere across scales and is actively developing a new research
and teaching program in the area of climate and extreme weather. Moreover,
Purdue University boasts  <https://www.rcac.purdue.edu/> one of the best
collections of high-performance research computing systems in the country
maintained by a strong and active computing support staff to serve all your
computing needs. Purdue is also a world-class engineering school with strong
interdisciplinary interests in the impacts of weather and climate on a wide
range of economic sectors. Finally, Purdue is rapidly expanding a novel
University-wide Data Science cluster.
