[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral position in the Geoengineering Assessment across Uncertainty, Scenarios, and Strategies (GAUSS) project at Cornell University

[Daniele Visioni]

We invite applicants for a postdoctoral research associate to conduct and analyze Earth System Model simulations of climate engineering (also known as solar geoengineering or climate intervention) using stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI).  The postdoctoral researcher 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. Potential research topics in our group could range from understanding the impacts of different aerosol injection choices on the climate system or its specific parts (e.g., on the cryosphere) to focusing more on model uncertainty and inter-model comparisons of SAI in order to understand differences and robust responses. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in atmospheric or climate 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.

For more information on the position and on the group please visit: https://climate-engineering.mae.cornell.edu/postdoctoral-position-available/

The initial appointment will be for one year, with the expectation of renewing for up to three years pending satisfactory performance and funding availability.  Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
To apply, please email dgm224 at cornell.edu<mailto: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.
