[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc sought: Idealized modeling of clouds to understand trace gas lifetimes

[Robert Pincus]

Dear colleagues -

Apologies if this message reaches you too many times.

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University (LDEO) located
in Palisades, New York, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research
Scientist who will lead a project to understand relationships between low
clouds (especially stratocumulus), the environmental factors which control
them, and the lifetime of atmospheric trace gases. The successful candidate
will formulate idealized models that emphasize these relationships, then
use those models to explore how changes in the reflectivity of low clouds,
due to anthropogenic climate change and/or deliberate manipulation, will
affect the chemical environment. The idealized models will also be used to
explore aspects of climate sensitivity.

We seek an atmospheric/climate scientist or atmospheric chemist with
experience or interests in one or more of the following: the use and
development model hierarchies, especially those developed from models of
the global atmosphere; the representation of shallow oceanic clouds
including stratocumulus in global models; modeling and/or observations of
gas-phase atmospheric chemistry, especially as they pertain to methane
lifetimes. Experience using idealized versions of the NCAR Community Earth
System Model is an advantage, as is experience with chemical mechanisms.
Applicants with any subset of experience are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will join the vibrant research
community at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory under the mentorship of Prof.
Robert Pincus in close collaboration Prof. Arlene Fiore at MIT. The
researcher is expected to present findings at national or international
scientific conferences and to prepare publications for submission to
scientific journals.
