Graduate positions in Atmospheric Science at the University of Illinois

In the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois (https://atmos.illinois.edu), we capitalize on large-university advantages such as expert faculty recognized for excellence in teaching and research, wide-ranging student experiences, and state-of-the-art facilities, yet still maintain our identity as a small, personal department that provides individual attention and a sense  of community.

We promote the career development of our graduate students through:
- opportunities to present research at national and international conferences
- support to publish research in top journals
- participation in field campaigns, workshops, and other scientific forums
- interactions with experts from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the Illinois State Water Survey, the National Weather Service, and various other agencies on and off campus
- professional development and work-life seminars and workshops

We have multiple graduate research opportunities beginning Fall 2021 with the following faculty members:

- Larry Di Girolamo: satellite studies of cloud, aerosol, and radiation

- Trent Ford: soil moisture-precipitation interactions

- Jeff Frame: severe local storms; lake-effect snow; weather forecasting, synoptic meteorology

- Brian Jewett: tornadoes in urban settings
