[ES_JOBS_NET] Two postdoctoral researchers in atmospheric sciences at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY)

[Daniele Visioni]

We invite applicants for two postdoctoral research associates to conduct and analyze climate model simulations of climate engineering (also known as solar geoengineering or climate intervention) using stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI).  The postdoctoral researchers will join a team working on the Geoengineering Assessment across Uncertainty, Scenarios, and Strategies (GAUSS) project.  The broad research goals of this project are to better evaluate the climate effects of SAI and how they depend on the design strategy (through choices such as latitudes, altitudes, seasons of injection), different possible future scenarios for implementation, and uncertainties in climate model representations of stratospheric physics – all with an aim to ultimately better inform future decisions.  

More details on the position can be found here https://climate-engineering.mae.cornell.edu/postdoctoral-positions-available/ <https://climate-engineering.mae.cornell.edu/postdoctoral-positions-available/>

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, physics, engineering, or a related field prior to employment.  Prior experience with geoengineering is not necessary, but experience in running and/or analyzing climate model output is a plus.  Additional qualifications include:

	• A demonstrated track record of conducting peer-reviewed climate research, including analyses of large data sets, making figures, interpreting results, and preparing manuscripts for peer review
	• Experience and knowledge in climate or climate-related fields, including climate dynamics, large-scale circulation mesoscale meteorology, aerosols, and/or atmospheric radiative transfer.
	• The ability to work independently and collaboratively with other researchers.
	• Written and oral communication skills, including publishing research findings in scholarly journals and oral presentations at conferences.
The positions will be for one year, renewable for up to three years pending satisfactory performance and funding availability.  Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.

To apply, please email dgm224 at cornell.edu, and include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and writing sample.  Please also specify three people from whom we can solicit letters of recommendation.
